A MEMORIAL STONE STELA
This stela could date from the 12th dynasty
(2050-1790 B.C.). However, Egyptian periods had culture revivals,
during which the Egyptians copied the styles of their ancient
predecessors. Therefore this could be much later work imitating
12th dynasty style.
The image is that
of a pharaoh in 12th dynasty style. The inscription immediately
beside the image reads, "The Lord of two lands," that
is of upper and lower Egypt. The next column to the right reads,
"Thoth the god of truth." (Dr. Lutz, Egyptologist and
professor emeritus, University of California).
