World History

The Great Theater at Pelusium, Egypt

Pelusium was on the easternmost mouth of the Nile River which silted up sometime around the 1st century BC. In the Bible the city is called Sin and was “the stronghold of Egypt”- (Ezekiel 30:15). In the 7th century BC, Pelusium was the main frontier fortress against Palestine and was a customs post for Asiatic goods. In 525 BC the Persian King Cambyses II defeated the Saite pharaoh Psamtik III there. During the periods of Egyptian independence from Persia (28th–29th dynasty), it was a vital defensive center. In Roman times it was a station on the route to the Red Sea. The visible ruins date from the Roman period.
