Moving any single piece would have taken a workforce 1 of hundreds.Using sleds to transport the pieces through the city. Monuments,like statues and obelisks 2,would have been taken down and transported whole. Temples and other bulidings, a single piece at a time. With no surviving accounts of the actual event,we can only wonder at how long such a move would have taken and how many lives may have been lost in the effort. But like the pieces of a giant gig-sore puzzle,the monuments of Ramesses II's great city were reassembled on the banks of the new easternmost branch of the Nile. Piramesse dies and the new northeastern capital of Egypt Tanis rises,using the stones taken from Piramesse.

Built with the very statues,temples and obelisks of Piramesse, Tanis became the seat of power and home to a new dynasty of pharaohs until like all great cities and civilizations,Tanis too one day crumbled 3 and faded into history.When it was discovered 3000 years later, it started a mystery that archaeologists have only just solved.
