The first Pharaoh of the succeeding dynasty, Rameses I., came to terms with a Kheta king called Saplel or Saparura; but Seti I. again attacked the Kheta (1366 B.C.), who had apparently pushed southwards.
Forced back by Seti, the Kheta returned and were found holding Kadesh by Rameses II., who, in his fifth year, there fought against them and a large body of allies, drawn probably in part from beyond Taurus, the battle which occasioned the monumental poem of Pentaur.
Rameses successor, Mineptah, remained on terms with the Kheta folk; but in the reign of Rameses III.

Rameses commenced his reign with a determined effort to crush the Hittites, now grown to the maximum of their power, and the only serious rivals of Egypt.
Thus Rameses the Great was described as the 'Pharaoh of the Oppression' and Merenptah as the 'Pharaoh of the Exodus'.
There is an inscription of Rameses III mentioning 'the miser­able king of the Amorites, and the leader of the hostile bands of the Bedouins conquered by the might of Pharaoh', which may be no more than an idle boast.

The tombs of Rameses X and XI in the Valley of the Kings were never finished, he notes.
The two pharaohs were separated by the better part of two centuries, Rameses I at the start of the 19th Dynasty and Rameses VII in the middle of the 20th, so a close examination of the mummy might yield clues as to which one it might be.
The later Ramesside mummies Siptah and Rameses IV were packed with dried lichen, and Rameses V with sawdust.

 Hittites (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Seti I claims to have conquered "Kadesh (on the Orontes) in the Land of the Amorites," and it is known that Mutallis, the eldest son of Mursilis, fought against Egypt.
The famous poem of Pentaur gives an exaggerated account of the victory won by Rameses II at Kadesh, over the allies, who included the people of Carchemish and of many other unknown places; for it admits that the Egyptian advance was not continued, and that peace was concluded.
In the 34th year of his reign, Rameses II (who was then over 50 years of age) married a daughter of Chattusil, who wrote to a son of Kadashman-Turgu (probably Kadashman-burias) to inform this Kassite ruler of Babylon of the event.

 Tombs Treasures Mummies: Seven Great Discoveries of Egyptian Archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
Harris concluded that this was No. 61073, “Thutmose IV.” Historically, the fourth Thutmose would have been either the grandfather or great-grandfather of Tutankhamen, depending on which candidate is favored as the latter’s father (the two most often touted being Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, with majority opinion in the Heretic’s camp).
Elliot Smith described “Thutmose IV” as an extremely emaciated individual at the time of his death, whereas several extant art works strongly suggest that the historical Amenhotep III was somewhat corpulent in his last years.
Something so simple as the apparent correspondences of “portraits” of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep II to the mummies thought (by the ancient necropolis priests) to be theirs should give pause to any rush to judgment about the latter’s identities as suggested by apparent discrepancies in their craniofacial morphologies.

 Exodus, the - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
If Moses was 80 at the time of the Exodus, he must have been born when Thothmes III was an infant, and when his famous sister Hatasu (according to the more probable rendering of her name by French scholars) was regent, and bore the title Ma-ka-Ra.
If the Exodus occurred under Thothmes IV, it would have been useless for Israel to attempt the entrance into Palestine by the "way of the land of the Philistines," because at Gaza, Ashkelon and in other cities, the road was still held by forces of Egyptian chariots, which had been established by Thothmes III.
His son Rhampses (apparently Rameses III is meant) was sent later to expel the shepherd and polluted people, whom he met at Pelusium and pursued into Syria.
