Is this the Pelusium you are looking for?

Yes, I know it’s on wiki, and several other sites mention it. Few enough that I’ve read them all. However, nobody can really pinpoint it, or agree on exactly where it lay, and you don’t see it on Google earth. Being there are archaeological finds, you’d think there’d be a consensus on its location.
Plus we’ve got some great maps here at 668, and they don’t show Tel Defna, I just checked. Makes you wonder if some of these tells are like the peas in a shell game; sometimes here, sometimes there, sometimes not there.
Grrr. :(
