History
The Merneptah Stele (also known as the Israel Stele or Victory Stele of Pharaoh
Merneptah) The stela was made to commemorate a victory in a campaign against
the Labu and Meshwesh Libyans and their Sea People allies, but a short portion
of the text is devoted to a campaign in the Levant. It was discovered at Merneptah's
mortuary temple at Thebes and is now in the collection of the Egyptian Museum
at Cairo. |

The
Nation of Israel In Egypt
Revisionists insisted there was no such
entity as "Israel" until at least the
9th century BCE. Yet a well known Egyptian inscription
(The Israel Stele) dates to about 1210 BCE and
clearly identifies an Israel in the land of Canaan
as a people that had to be reckoned with. The inscription,
which depicts the victories of Pharaoh Merneptah
in Canaan, reads in part:
"
Israel is laid waste, his seed is no more."
How do revisionists react to this inscription?
Dismissively. They denigrate it as the only
known reference. But one unimpeachable witness
in the court of history is sufficient. |

Pharaoh
Merneptah and the Sun God
His throne name was Ba-en-re Mery-netjeru, which means "The Soul of Ra,
Beloved of the Gods". Ra is the sun-god of Heliopolis in
ancient Egypt.
Deuteuronomy 4:19 "And lest thou lift up
thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the
moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven
to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto
all nations under the whole heaven" |
