The Balu'a Stele is a basalt stele (inscribed stone) with a near completely unreadable Egyptian hieroglyphic inscription and relief panel. It was discovered in 1930 at the Khirbet al-Balu'a site north of the city of Karak and is thought to date to 1309-1151 BCE.[1] The finding site is on the territory of the land of Moab, but the ethnical identity of the person who has carved it cannot be asserted.[2] The iconography contains Canaanite elements, while the overall composition strictly conforms to Egyptian canons.[2] It has bern interpreted as representing two deities investing a Canaanite king, whom Egyptians would have seen as "Asiatic" and probably Shasu.[2]
