Touring the Delta - Bubastis, Tanis and Ismailia

At the end of March we joined some friends for a tour of ancient sites in the Nile Delta. The two sites - Bubastis and Tanis - are still working dig sites, and so are very different to most "tourist" sites that consist of rebuilt structures held together with concrete. These sites, rather, are piles of hieroglyphic rubble left where it was found.

It's taken us a while to edit and upload these videos due to a busy end of term, but hopefully you can watch and enjoy!

PART 1 - Bubastis

PART 2 - TANIS
