EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient stele, dating back to the 13th century BC, is a testament to the rich historical heritage of the ancient world. Known as the Stele of Seti I from Beth Shean, it was discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Beth Shean, located in modern-day Israel. The stele is made of basalt and stands as a commemorative monument to Pharaoh Seti I's military expedition to Canaan to quell a revolt. The intricately carved hieroglyphics on the stele depict the Pharaoh in triumphant pose, surrounded by his military forces, as they celebrate their victory over the Canaanites. The detail is so exquisite that one can almost hear the clash of swords and the cries of the victorious soldiers. Seti I's campaign in Canaan was a significant event in ancient Egyptian history, as it marked the northern expansion of Egyptian influence into Palestine and the establishment of Egyptian control over the region. The stele serves as a reminder of the military might and political power of the Egyptian empire during this period. The stele is now housed in the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars and visitors alike. Its intricate hieroglyphics provide valuable insights into the political, military, and cultural history of ancient Egypt and the ancient Near East. This ancient artifact, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a reminder of the rich and complex history of the ancient world, a history that continues to captivate and inspire us to this day.
