City of Tanis

The City of Tanis, historically known as Tanis or Sais, was an ancient Egyptian city located in the northeastern Nile Delta. It served as a major political and religious center during the New Kingdom period and later periods, particularly as a capital during the 21st and 22nd Dynasties. Known for its impressive temples, tombs, and as a hub of commerce, Tanis played a significant role in Egypt's history. Today, archaeological excavations uncover its ruins, providing insights into Egypt’s cultural and political life during the Bronze Age.
