The fertile Nile Delta of Northern Egypt boasts such a vast number of ancient sites that the names of many – if not most – are unknown to even the most dedicated Egyptologist. These are the lost remains of the cities, towns, villages and cemeteries of the ancient Egyptians.
... ... ...
All these originally had temples that approached the magnificence of those in the Nile Valley, such as at the wonderful site of Luxor. However, the Delta temples had the misfortune to have been built mainly from limestone, rather than from sandstone like heir southern counterparts. The limestone blocks were removed from the Late Roman Period onwards for reuse either in other buildings in a part of Egypt where stone is scarce, or to be burned to make quicklime.

The finds, made in the Nile Delta northeast of Cairo, date back about 3,600 years to a time when the Hyksos, a people believed to be originally from northern Canaan, controlled part of Egypt and made their capital at Avaris a location known today as Tell el-Daba.

The Minoan wall paintings at Tell El-Dab'a are of particular interest to Egyptologists and archaeologists. They are of Minoan style, content, and technology, but there is uncertainty over the ethnic identity of the artists. The paintings depict images of bull-leaping, bull-grappling, griffins, and hunts. They were discovered by a team of archaeologists led by Manfred Bietak, in the palace district of the Thutmosid period at Tell el-Dab'a. The frescoes date to the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, most likely during the reigns of either the pharaohs Hatshepsut or Thutmose III, after being previously considered to belong to the late Second Intermediate Period. The paintings indicate an involvement of Egypt in international relations and cultural exchanges with the eastern Mediterranean either through marriage or exchange of gifts.

Ahmose, son of Ebana, served in the Egyptian military under the pharaohs Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, and Thutmose I. His autobiography has survived and is intact on the wall of his tomb and has proven a valuable source of information on the late 17th Dynasty and the early 18th Dynasty of Egypt.

, Auaris)[1] was the capital of Egypt under the Hyksos. It was located at modern Tell el-Dab'a in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta, at the juncture of the 8th, 14th, 19th and 20th Nomes.[
(followed link Avaris, battle where Ahmose son of Ebana fought, and Ahmose his Pharaoh too!)
Avaris, along with Tel Kabri in Israel and Alalakh in Syria, also has a record of Minoan civilization, which is otherwise quite rare in the Levant.

French archaeologist Yves Duhoux proposed the existence of a Minoan 'colony' on an island in the Nile delta.[9]

Sea Peoples in conflict with the Egyptians in the battle of Djahy
1178 BC
In Egypt, Ramesses III was fighting to save his country and Empire in the midst of the Bronze Age collapse, a prolonged period of region-wide droughts, crop failures, depopulation, invasions, and collapse of urban centers. It is likely that the Nile irrigated lands remained fruitful and would have been highly desirable to Egypt’s neighbors. During this chaotic time, a new warlike group of people from the north, the Sea People, repeatedly attacked and plundered various Near Eastern powers.
