		Tanis (Τάνις), the Greek name of ancient Djanet (modern صان الحجر Ṣān al-Ḥaǧar), is a city in the north-eastern Nile delta of Egypt (30°58′ N 31°52′ E (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?params=30_58_N_31_52_E_)).
		Tanis was founded in the late Twentieth dynasty, and became the the northern capital of Egypt during the following Twenty-first dynasty.
		The chief deities of Tanis were the Amun, his consort, Mut, and their child Khonsu, formering the Tanite triad.

	Tanis
		Tanis (in Egyptian Zani, in Hebrew Zoan) was situated on a branch of the Nile, to which it gave its name.
		It was under the shepherd kings that the Jews installed themselves in Egypt in the land of Gessen, near Tanis, and it is in this city which was the residence of Rameses II, that Moses and Aaron performed many wonders (Pa. lxxvii, 12 and 43).
		The earliest Bishop of Tanis is Eudæmon, a Melitian bishop at the beginning of the fourth century.

	The Tanis Kings
		Egypt at the time of the Pharaohs consisted of the narrow strip of very fertile farmland along the banks of the River Nile, from Elephantine in the south to the Delta in the north.
		To the west of this was the Western Desert, to the east the Eastern Desert, to the south the land of Nubia and to the north the Mediterranean Sea.
		By the time of the Tanis Kings Egypt was no longer as rich or as powerful as it had been at the height of the New Kingdom, so the buildings and tombs at Tanis are not as wonderful and awe-inspiring as those at Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, and few tourists visit them.

	Tanis, Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tanis (Τάνις), the Greek name of ancient Djanet (modern صان الحجر Ṣān al-Ḥaǧar), is a city in the north-eastern Nile delta of Egypt.
		In the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, Tanis was said to be the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant which was hidden in a secret chamber in Tanis.
		Tanis was inaccurately depicted as a lost city, having been destroyed in a sand storm and buried until 1936 when it was discovered by a German expedition outside of Cairo.

	Tanis (San El-Hagar) in Egypt (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Whether Tanis is considered to be the most important archaeological site in Egypt's northern Delta or not, it is almost certainly one of the largest and most impressive.
		Tanis was built upon the Nile distributary known as Bahr Saft, which is now only a small silted up stream that dispatches into Lake Manzalla.
		Tanis is probably not one of those sites one would wish to visit on a one time, short tour of Egypt.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - Late Dynastic Period
		At Tanis they launched an elaborate building activity, one that was to rival the temple of Amun in Thebes and which also included the moving of temples and palaces from the old capital Pi-Ramesse to Tanis.
		It was brought to an end by Amyrtaios, the only king of the 28th Dynasty, who succeeded in ridding Egypt of the Persian yoke and was able to re-establish control over the entire country.
		Egypt’s regained independence lasted some 60 years, during which the kings of the 29th and 30th Dynasties ruled the country and re-established all of its traditions.

	Tanis
		Tanis is like no other site in Egypt, and the journey getting there is very much a part of the total experience.
		Tanis is clearly not on the average tour group itenerary, the excavations have until now not been cleared enough, and the reassembling process is in an early stage.
		But when you are there all by yourself, knowing that it was Egypt's capital for more than 350 years, and that the main temple was among the largest ever built in Egypt, your imagination is tickled.

	Third Intermediate Period
		Upper Egypt was ruled from Thebes, where Herihor, who combined the offices of high priest of Amun and vizier of Upper Egypt, was placed as effective king.
		After his death the power fluctuated between Tanis and Thebe sometimes under one king, sometimes under a combination of a king in the north and a high priest in the south.
		As Egypt was the richest part of their new empire, the Persian monarchs took a considerable interest in its affairs and government.

	Tanis (San El-Hagar) in Egypt
		It became the northern capital of Egypt during the 21st Dynasty.
		It was probably the home city of Smedes, the founder of that Dynasty and, since one of his canopic jars was found in the vicinity, probably the location of his tomb.
		Necktanebo I, during the 30th Dynasty, probably was responsible for an enormous outer wall built of brick, as well as a temple to Khonsu that was annexed to the northern side of the old Amun temple, near the Northern Gate.

	Ammut - Anat - Andjety - Anhur - Anhuke
		Her cult became established in Egypt by the end of the Middle Kingdom, even before the Hyksos (Asiatics probably from Syria) invasion of Egypt, so her presence certainly attests to the slow immigration (or perhaps more often, enslavement as the spoils of war) of the Hyksos prior to their ultimate rule of Egypt.
		The Elephantine papyri dating from the late sixth century BC indicate that Anat was one of the two goddesses worshiped at the Temple of Yahu (Yahweh) by the Jews on the island of Elephantine in the Nile.
		At Tanis in Egypt she was regarded as the daughter of Re.

	Tanis / Djanet, Egypt
		The town of Tanis, situated on the right bank of the Tanitic arm of the Nile, on the edge of the marshes bordering Lake Manzala (which then reached farther south), was probably founded during the sixth Dynasty.
		After the fall of the Ramessids and their capital Pi-Ramesse Tanis became the residence of the Kings of the 21st and 22nd Dynasties.
		It is now established that after becoming capital Tanis was considerably enlarged and embellished, using stones and architectural elements from other sites, particularly the nearby royal residences of Pi-Ramesse and Avaris.

	Virtual Egyptian - King Amenemope (?) as Osiris, Dyn. 21
		His general appearance is that of King Amenemope of Tanis, as seen in his gold funerary mask, now in the Cairo Museum.
		One of Egypt’s principal gods, Osiris was thought to rule over Duat (the Egyptian underworld), and sit in judgement of the life and deeds of the deceased, determining their chances for eternal rest: he was the ‘king of the dead’.
		Ions (1968:54) hypothesizes that the cult of Osiris was originally brought to Egypt by Syrians (probably in predynastic times) as they settled in the delta town of Busiris, where the god Andjety was the dominant local god.

		They left, however, a most striking style of sculpture, in the sphinxes which were later removed to Tanis, but seem originally to have come from El Kab, where a piece of such a sphinx has been found.The type is closely like that of the Galla.
		The evidence that all the earlier sculptures of Tanis were collected there by Ramessu II seems clear; and that these sphinxes are earlier than the Hyksos is certain by those kings having appropriated them.

		It is a mistake to confound Tanis with the Ramesses built by the Israelites (Exodus 1:10 and 11) and situated very probably at Tell-Rotab.
		Jeremias, who also pronounced (ii, 16) anathemas against the city, was forced to follow the Jews thither after the conquest of Palestine by Nabuchodonosor (Jeremiah 43:7-10; 44:1; 46:14).
