Does anyone have any pictures of the ancient city of Zoan or, is it non existent today.

For those who don't know Zoan was an Egyptian city mentioned in the Bible on the eastern Delta where pharaoh ruled during the time of Moses and Aaron. However, the name 'Zoan' may well be a variaton of the Egyptian word Sant which meant stronghold which was a city ruled by the Hyksos during the Second Intermediate period. It was soon replaced by Tanis in the 20th dynasty.
Archaeology has revealed some things about Tanit but I don't know much about its predecessor Zoan.
