And then, other strange anomalies began turning up. Puzzling finds from other places suggesting Piramesse might lie elsewhere. Show me.
He says it was dug up about 30 kilometres from here. He claimes it's from Piramesse.
Well, cartouche is certainly that of Ramesses the second, but, how can anyone seriously compare a mortar with what we have here, Well, if it's proof of Piramesse he's after he's standing in it. It's written in almost every stone around us. We have a temple of Amon the size of Karn and more obelisks than any other site in Egypt. We've only just scratched the surface. Now, Come on.

Montet spent the rest of his career convinced he had found at Tanis the great lost capital of Piramesse . And the truth is he had. These are the ancient monuments and buildings of Ramesses' magnificent city, but there was a bizarre twist to his discovery, because this is not where Ramesses built them.
Montet had unwittingly stumbled upon a baffling mystery, one that would take science another 60 years to unravel.
Pierre Montet died in 1966, that same year, an Austrian archeologist Manfred Bietak set off on a journey of investigation that would turn Montet's discoveries on their head.
In doing so, he would finally solve the strange puzzle surrounding Ramesses the Great's vanished city.
What Bietak discovered is so strange that it appears to defy the laws of logic.
These are the monuments of Piramesse, however they are found in the wrong place.
What's more, he has absolute proof of it.
