Settlement dated to about 400 BCE. It later became a site for a temple of the goddess Neith and the capital of Egypt in the 26th Dynasty around 700-650 BCE.
Unfortunately, the site is pretty much destroyed due to the Nile changing its course.
For the most part, only artifacts in mseums can be seen.
