The reverse and obverse of the stele have been inscribed in the Akkadian language in different times. In 805 BCE, as reported on the Pazarc k Stele, Kummuh king U pilulume uppiluliuma asked for the assistance of the Assyrian king Adad nirari III against the a coalition of eight kings led by Atar umki of Arpad.

In 773 BCE, the same boundary was re established by Assyrian general turtanu am i ilu acting on behalf of Assyrian king Shalmaneser IV.

In a vascular plant , the stele is the central part of the root or Plant stem stem containing the tissues derived from the procambium. These include vascular tissue , in some cases ground tissue pith and a pericycle, which, if present, defines the outermost boundary of the stele. Outside the stele lies the endodermis , which is the innermost cell layer of the cortex. The concept of the stele was developed in the late 19th century by France French botanists Phillippe douard L on van Tieghem P. E. L. van Tieghem and H. Doultion as a model for understanding the relationship between the shoot and root , and for discussing the evolution of vascular plant morphology . Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, plant molecular biologists are coming to understand the genetics and developmental pathways that govern tissue patterns in the stele.

Daunian stele was made from the end of the 8th century BC to the 6th century BC. They consist of a parallelepiped shaped plate, which protrudes from the upper head and decorated on all four sides. Sizes vary between 40 and 130 cm in height, and consequently, between 20 and 80 cm in width while the thickness is between 3 and 12 cm. Description Daunian stelea were made from limestone in the southern part of Gargano where 2000 copies were found. Originally they were placed vertically on top of the mound covering the tomb, with a base devoid decoration that was stuck in the ground. Their decorations were executed with more or less deep incisions, a schematic representation of the deceased in their full dress funeral decoration primary accompanied by ornaments and abstract figurative scenes that form filler secondary decoration . The stars are divided into two categories depending on the presence of weapons in the depiction of the deceased, or ornaments. The first category would cover warriors, belonging to approximately 14 of the stelae found, while the second group, which includes all others, also includes the many stars which refer to female characters, approximately 6 of total stele found, which have a characteristic style with long braid on the back ... birds .

The Tempest Stele alt. Storm Stele was erected by Ahmose I early in the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt , circa 1550 BCE . The stele describes a great storm striking Egypt during this time, destroying tombs, temples and pyramids in the Theban region and the work of restoration ordered by the king. ref name ShawIan Shaw, Ian. cite The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt cite . p. 290 210 Oxford University Press. 2000. ISBN 0 19 280458 8 ref Interpretation There are Egyptologists who believe the stele to be propaganda put out by the pharaoh, the tempest being the depredations of officials of the embattled seventeenth dynasty of Egypt drawing upon the financial resources of the temples during the escalating conflict with the Hyksos . ref name ShawIan This would constitute an official re writing of history, for which there are other parallels, such as Hatshepsut s Speos Artemidos , which records storms that similarly destroyed temples, which she restored during her reign, while pointedly cursing the Hyksos and toppling what had been made there. ref http www.ancientneareast.net texts egyptian speos artemidos.html The Speos Artemidos Inscription of Hatshepsut , accessed August 17, 2007 ref ref Wiener, Malcolm H. and Allen, James P.

Image Stela aksum.jpg thumb King Ezana s Stele King Ezana s Stele is the central obelisk still standing in the Northern Stelae Park containing hundreds of smaller and less decorated stelae in the ancient city of Axum , in modern day Ethiopia . This stele is probably the last erected one and the biggest of those remained unbroken. King Ezana s Stele stands 70 feet 21 m tall, smaller than the fallen 108 foot 33 m Great Stele and the better known 79 foot 24 m , so called, Obelisk of Axum reassembled and unveiled on September 4, 2008 . At its base, it is decorated with a false door, and apertures resembling windows on all sides. History Image Axum northern stelea park.jpg thumb left The Northern Stelae Park in Axum , with King Ezana s Stele at the centre and the Great Stele lying broken. This obelisk, properly termed stele or the native hawilt hawilti as they do not end in a pyramid , was carved and erected in the 4th century A.D. by subjects of the Kingdom of Aksum , an ancient Ethiopian civilization. The function of these stelae is supposed to be that of markers for underground burial chambers. The largest of the grave markers were for royal burial chambers and were decorated with multi story false windows and false doors, while nobility would have smaller, less decorated ones. King Ezana s Stele is, likely, the last example of this practice, outdated after the conversion of Axumites to Christianity. It is named after Ezana of Axum King Ezana , the first monarch of Axum to embrace Christianity , following the teachings and examples of his childhood tutor Saint Frumentius Frumentius .

Infobox Korean name hangul hanja rr Bongseon Honggyeongsa Sajeok Galbi mr Pongs n Honggy ngsa Saj k Kalbi The Stele of Bongseon Honggyeongsa Temple was designated as the seventh national treasures of Korea National Treasure of Korea on December 12, 1962. The Bongseon Honggyeongsa Temple was built in 1021 during the reign of Hyeonjong of Goryeo King Hyeonjong who built the temple in accordance with the wishes of his father King Anjong and because he was inspired by the Lotus Sutra . Bongseon , which means In Reverence of Father s Wishes , was added to the name of the temple. The stele commemorates the construction of the temple which was set up in 1026 CE, five years after the temple was constructed. The stele is all that remains of the temple. The inscription of the stele was composed by Choi Chung also known as Haedonggongja, one of the greatest Confucian scholars and writers during the Goryeo Dynasty, and the calligraphy, in semi cursive style, was done by Baek Hyeonrye. The inscription describes the foundation of the temple. The stone stele rests on a bixi tortoise pedestal shaped like a tortoise . The dragon heads of the pedestal are facing the side instead of the front, a style that has often been used in East Asian stele. The head is also carved with fin like wings that give the head the impression of dynamism and motion. The body of the stele is capped with a stone that is rounded and shows a dragon in the clouds. The stele is currently located in Seonghwan eup, Cheonan Cheonan City in Chungcheongnam do South Chungcheong province. http www.cheonan.go.kr english 02 sub 01.asp See also National treasures of Korea Stele External links http www.cha.go.kr english search plaza ECulresult Db View.jsp?VdkVgwKey 11,00070000,34&queryText V EKDCD 11 &requery 0 Cultural Heritage Administration Category National Treasures of South Korea Category Cheonan Category Goryeo Category Korean inscriptions Category Korean steles Bongseon ... more details
