Zoan, known to the Greeks as Tanis, was an ancient city in the Nile delta that served for a time as Egypt's capital and is described in Numbers as having been built seven years after Hebron. The psalmist recalls the plagues of the exodus as wonders worked "in the field of Zoan," and Isaiah and Ezekiel both single it out in oracles against Egypt's rulers and counselors. Excavations at Tanis by Pierre Montet in 1939 uncovered the intact royal tombs of several pharaohs, including Psusennes I, a discovery rivaling Tutankhamun's tomb that was overshadowed at the time by the outbreak of the Second World War.
