Description: | Ancient Tanis was the burial place of six royal tombs from the XXI and XXII Dynasty (c.1069-715 BC). The Temple of Amun at Tanis is built as a replica of the Temple of Amun at Karnak due to the fact that at the time Upper Egypt was under the control of the High Priests of Amun and it was virtually impossible for the pharaoh to visit the cult centre there. There is significant evidence that Rameses II (c.1279-1213 BC) built here. Tanis survived as a major city up until the 14th century AD when it was abandoned after a series of floods. San el-Hagur grew up from the ruins.
