Aadloun stele

The Aadloun stele is a rock relief stele and inscription carved into the limestone rocks around the town of Aadloun in Lebanon, between Sidon and Tyre.

In his 1843 publication of the stele, Jules de Bertou wrote:[1] The shape of [Aadloun's rock-cut] tombs is not the only stamp of antiquity that distinguishes this necropolis from other burial places found in Syria.

We also see one of these Egyptian steles, quite similar to those we have drawn on the banks of Nahar-el-Kelb, not far from Beirut.

The Adloun stele depicted a conqueror making an offering of prisoners to the god Phtha.

The corrosive action of the sea air has erased the hieroglyphic legend that covered this stele from the height of the god's shoulders to the bottom of the frame, and only a few isolated signs are visible.
