  Memphis
       n 1: largest city of Tennessee; located in southwestern Tennessee
            on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River
       2: an ancient city of Egypt on the Nile (south of Cairo)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:



  Memphis
     only in Hos. 9:6, Hebrew Moph. In Isa. 19:13; Jer. 2:16; 46:14,
     19; Ezek. 30:13, 16, it is mentioned under the name Noph. It was
     the capital of Lower, i.e., of Northern Egypt. From certain
     remains found half buried in the sand, the site of this ancient
     city has been discovered near the modern village of Minyet
     Rahinch, or Mitraheny, about 16 miles above the ancient head of
     the Delta, and 9 miles south of Cairo, on the west bank of the
     Nile. It is said to have been founded by Menes, the first king
     of Egypt, and to have been in circumference about 19 miles.
     "There are few remains above ground," says Manning (The Land of
     the Pharaohs), "of the splendour of ancient Memphis. The city
     has utterly disappeared. If any traces yet exist, they are
     buried beneath the vast mounds of crumbling bricks and broken
     pottery which meet the eye in every direction. Near the village
     of Mitraheny is a colossal statue of Rameses the Great. It is
     apparently one of the two described by Herodotus and Diodorus as
     standing in front of the temple of Ptah. They were originally 50
     feet in height. The one which remains, though mutilated,
     measures 48 feet. It is finely carved in limestone, which takes
     a high polish, and is evidently a portrait. It lies in a pit,
     which, during the inundation, is filled with water. As we gaze
     on this fallen and battered statue of the mighty conqueror who
     was probably contemporaneous with Moses, it is impossible not to
     remember the words of the prophet Isaiah, 19:13; 44:16-19, and
     Jeremiah, 46:19."
