Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ra mes ses
this does not appear to be the most widely accepted location for the city that the Israelites worked on, and thus violates . The statement in Avaris that it was the place mentioned in the Exodus is not referenced to a TV programme but to a recent book by respected Egyptologist Kenneth Kitchen. In addition {{cite book |last=Newby |first=P.H. |title=Warrior Pharaohs |year=1980 |publisher=Faber and Faber |isbn=978-0571116416|pages=166-7 }} and {{cite book |last=Manfred |first=Bietak |title=The Seventy Great Mysteries of Ancient Egypt |year=2003 |publisher=Thames & Hudson Ltd|isbn=978-0500051238| pages=277-8}} confirm that Pi-Ramesses was the city referred to in Exodus. The article also says that there have been "speculations about San el-Hagar or Pi-Ramesses" being the city referred to in Exodus. However, San el-Hagar is the modern name for Tanis, Egypt|Tanis, not Pi-Ramesses, and Tanis has also been proposed as a (now rejected) candidate for the Exodus, so I am not even sure that the one source cited has been interpreted correctly. The title "Ra mes ses" may well need to redirect somewhere though
