	Waset ~ Ancient Worlds Egypt
		On the edge of the desert in Waset, situated just to the north of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III and to the south of the Ramesseum, is the mortuary temple of Merenptah, son of Ramses II and the fourth king of the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom.
		Merenptah was the thirteenth son of Ramses II by his wife, Isetnofret, and ascended the throne upon his father's death.
		While Merenptah's dismantling and plundering of a predecessor's temple may seem unsavory, it was not unusual for the period and in fact, by his use of material from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III in the foundations, he helped preserve a piece of the history of Egypt.

		Merenptah was old himself by this time, probably nearly sixty years old, and his reign was rather dull, as well as short lived (perhaps only nine or ten years) in comparison with that of his father's reign.
		Merenptah was probably the fourth child of Ramesses II's second principle wife, Istnofret (Isisnofret).
		Merenptah apparently did face a number of military problems.These included a "flash" revolt in Syria, which was quickly crushed.

		The temple of Merenptah, Ramses II's son and successor who ruled for 10 years between 1213 and 1203BC, was first identified in the 19th century, when British archaeologist Flinders Petrie made a plan of the remains, and gave a short description of the temple in 1886.
		Merenptah, who was described "the victorious," "the amiable," and "(one) magnified among the gods," by now found it timely to construct his mortuary temple to ensure the continuation of his cult for all eternity.
		It is situated between Merenptah's temple and neighbouring rural housing, and the structure blends in with the environment in both shape and colour.

	Temple of Merenptah - west Luxor
		Merenptah was the thirteenth son of Ramesses II, and it was he who finally followed his father toward 1213 B.C., after his father's (too) long reign.
		As his father Ramesses II had succeeded it before him, he undertook to leave chronicles of his victories, on a wall close to the 6th pylon of Karnak, and on a famous stela, the "victory stela of Merenptah", dated from about 1210/1207 B.C., which was discovered in 1896 by Flinders Pétrie, in the temple.
		When Merenptah decided to construct his funerary temple, he placed it very near of the one of Amenophis III, already in ruins, of which he is going to use as a quarry, usurping the names of his famous predecessor, like his father had done extensively already before him.

	Egypt: Merenptah (Merneptah), the 4th King of Egypt's 19th Dynasty

		This is indicated by the records of the attempted invasions under Merenptah and in Ramesses III's year 11 that state these two groups descended upon the Tjehenu before reaching Egypt (Breasted 1906a:243; Peden 1994:41; O'Connor 1990:35).
		To support this, O'Connor (ibid.) notes that in the Merenptah and Ramesses III war texts, both the Rebu and Meshwesh are accompanied by large herds of sheep, goat and cattle.
		For example, the records of the invasion under Merenptah suggest that they were apparently suffering from a lack of food, stating that they had come to Egypt "to seek the necessities for their mouths" (Davies 1997:155-157).

		The mention of "Israel" in the political stela of Merenptah has prompted scholars to believe Merenptah to have been the pharaoh of the Exodus.
		Probably "Israel" in the context of Merenptah's stela does not mean a land or a kingdom but a people.
		If Merenptah were the king who found Joseph's talents useful, it makes sense that he should bestow upon him a theosophic name incorporating that of his own patron deity.
