Qaw el-Kebir (Arabic: قاو الكبير) or El Etmannyieh (Arabic: العتمانية) is a village in the Asyut Governorate of Egypt. An old settlement, it was known in Ancient Egypt as Tjebu or Tkow (Coptic: ⲧⲕⲱⲟⲩ, Ancient Egyptian: Ḏw-qȝw, lit. 'high mountain'). In Greek and Roman Egypt, its name was Antaeopolis (Ancient Greek: Ἀνταίου πόλις) after its tutelary deity, the war god known by the Hellenized name Antaeus.
