Great Karnak Inscription

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seapeople.

Located on the wall of the Cachette Court, in the Precinct of Amun-Re of the Karnak temple complex, in modern Luxor, the Great Karnak Inscription of Merneptah is a record of the campaigns of this king against the Sea Peoples.[1]

The inscription (which has now lost about a third of its content) shows the king's campaigns and eventual return with booty and prisoners.[2]
