Qantir
Qantir is a village in Egypt. Qantir
is believed to mark what was probably the ancient site of the 19th dynasty Pharaoh Ramesses II's capital, Pi-Ramesse or Per-Ramesses. This city is situated around north of Faqous in the Sharqiyah province of the eastern Nile Delta, about 60 miles north-east of Cairo.
The ancient site of Avaris is located around south of Qantir. This was the older city in this area. Later on, Avaris was absorbed by Pi-Ramesses.
