Merneptah

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Merneptah (mĕrnĕp`tä), d. c.1215 B.C., king of ancient Egypt, of the XIX dynasty; son and successor of Ramses II. He succeeded (1224 B.C.) to the throne when he was already advanced in years. He quelled a revolt in Syria and repulsed a Libyan invasion of the western delta of the Nile. The first recorded mention of the name of Israel was found in an inscription on a stele of Merneptah exulting in a victory. His reign was apparently the beginning of the decline of Egypt. After his death a period of palace intrigues began. Seti II was one of the kings who reigned briefly after Merneptah.

This stele commemorates the pharaoh Merneptah, the son and successor of Ramses II.
Thus, in Jewish terms, the fact that we have no historical evidence of, say, the Exodus from Egypt other than the account in the Book of Exodus--and maybe the Merneptah stela--does not, in my view, at all undermine the validity and the value of what Jewish collective memory and the rabbinic and all later traditions have done with it.
