Tjaru
Tjaru was an ancient Egyptian fortress on the ''Way of Horus,'' the major road leading out of Egypt into Canaan. It also appeared, though much less commonly, under the names ''Zaru'', ''Tharu'', ''Djaru'' and ''Tjel'', and was known to the Greeks as ''Zele'' or ''Sile''. It has been suggested that its remains form the Tell el Habua near Kantara.〔Ian Shaw, ''The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt'', Oxford University Press 2000, ISBN 0-19-280293-3, p.212〕〔Barry J. Kemp, ''Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization'', Routledge 2005, ISBN 0-415-23549-9, p.25〕
The Horus of Mesen was worshipped at Tjaru in the form of a lion, and because of its close theological connections to Edfu, it is sometimes referred to as the Edfu of Lower Egypt.〔Dieter Kurth, ''The Temple of Edfu: A Guide by an Ancient Egyptian Priest'', American Univ in Cairo Press 2005, ISBN 977-424-764-7, p.82〕
Tjaru, being a frontier town in an inhospitable desert region, was a place of banishment for criminals. Horemheb in his Great Edict threatens as punishment for various crimes by officials disfigurement and banishment to Tjaru.〔James Henry Breasted, ''Ancient Records of Egypt'', Chicago 1906, Part Three, §§ 51ff.〕
==Tjaru: as Amarna letters '' 'Silu','' 1350 BC==
Silu is referenced twice in one letter of the 382–Amarna letters correspondence of 1350-1335 BC. The letter refers to Turbazu, the presumed 'mayor'/ruler of Silu, who is ''"..slain in the city gate of Silu."'' Two other mayors are also slain at the city gate of Silu. Turbazu's death is also reported in one additional letter of the Amarna letters, EA 335, (EA for 'el Amarna').
