The Great Karnak Inscription is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription belonging to the 19th Dynasty Pharaoh Merneptah. A long epigraph, it was discovered at Karnak in 1828–1829. According to Wilhelm Max Müller, it is "one of the famous standard texts of Egyptology... [and has been] ... one of the greatest desiderata of scholars for many years." It was first identified by Champollion, and later partly published by Karl Richard Lepsius. It includes a record of the campaigns of this king against the Sea Peoples. It is the longest surviving continuous monumental text from Egypt.
