Tanis inscriptions

The Tanis inscriptions refer to ancient writings found at the archaeological site of Tanis in Egypt, dating from the New Kingdom period. They include hieroglyphic texts carved into stone and painted on walls, detailing historical events, royal decrees, religious practices, and descriptions of kings and gods. These inscriptions help historians understand Egypt’s history, culture, and beliefs of that era. Because Tanis was a significant political and religious center, the inscriptions provide valuable insights into its importance during Egypt’s 21st and 22nd Dynasties.
