For safety reasons, tourists are advised to avoid this region. Archaeologists Auguste-Édouard Mariette and William Matthew Flinders Petrie unearthed the vestiges of Tanis in the second half of the 19C. For a long time, the former city of the sovereigns of the XXI and XXII Dynasties was wrongly thought to be the capital of Rameses II. It owes much of its renown to the funerary treasures exhumed from the royal necropolis by Pierre Montet in 1939, which are now exhibited at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
