Extra-Biblical Evidences of Biblical Persons and/or Events: The Mortuary Temple of Rameses III


The Medinat Habu Mortuary Temple of Pharaoh Rameses III of Egypt is a massive complex 150 meters long.  On its walls are inscriptions praising Rameses and listing his military triumph over the Sea Peoples in a great land and sea battle which occurred about 1191 BC/BCE.  One of the tribes composing the Sea People was the Philistines, who were Israel’s mortal enemies.  They are believed to have originally come from Crete.

The temple site is near Luxor (al-Uxxor) in Egypt.
