Dear people, I offer "Exhibit A":

http://www.luxor-westbank.com/merenptah_e.htm

For the benefit of those of you who are impatient,
or need things spelled out for you. I perform all
of the work myself...

To quote the page:

: The original of the stela nowadays is exhibited in
: the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. In the temple of
: Merenptah you find a replica, done in order of Dr.
: Jaritz.

What is significant about that? Well, read on...

The page then goes on to say, in describing it's
photos...


: Picture 1: For orientation: The layout of the
: complete temple complex
: Picture 2: Upper part of the replica of the
: so-called "Israel Stela"
: Picture 3: Horst Jaritz explains to us in "his"
: museum how they put the fragments of a stela
: together

Here's the photo of the replica:

Now, guess where the part that says "Israel" is
located.... go on, guess...
