Mesha stele, Museum of Madaba, Jordan
Mesha stele in the Museum of Madaba, Jordan. This is a copy of the original stele, which is housed in the Louvre. It dates from c. 850 BC and is a record of the reign of King Mesha in Moab, Northern Jordan. The inscription is in the Moabite language and describes struggles between the Moabites and Israelites. The basalt stele was discovered in 1868 and smashed in 1869 over an ownership dispute. Picture by Manuel Cohen
