Stele of Piye

Egypt

The Stele of Piye, also known as the Victory Stele of Piye, is an Ancient Nubian stele detailing the victory of Kushite King Piye against Prince Tefnakht of Sais and his allies. It was discovered in Jebel Barkal and is currently part of the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt. Following its discovery, the Stele of Piye was published by Auguste Mariette in 1872. It consists of a front, a reverse, and two thick sides, all covered with text. Emmanuel de Rougé published a complete word-by-word translation in French in 1876. The stele inscription describes Piye as very religious, compassionate, and a lover of horses.
