Qantir

Qantir (Arabic: قنتير, romanized: Qantīr) is a village in Egypt.

[1] Qantir is believed to mark what was probably the ancient site of the 19th Dynasty Pharaoh Ramesses II's capital, Pi-Ramesses or Per-Ramesses ("House or Domain of Ramesses").

It is situated around 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) north of Faqous in the Sharqiyah province of the eastern Nile Delta, about 60 mi (97 km) north-east of Cairo.

[2] The Arabic name of the village contains Coptic: ⲉⲛⲧⲏⲣ, lit. 'gods'.

[3] The ancient site of Avaris is located around 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) south of Qantir.
