Famine Stela
Hieroglyphic inscription on Sehel Island, Egypt
Famine Stela
The Famine Stela is an inscription written in Egyptian hieroglyphs located on Sehel Island in the Nile near Aswan in Egypt, which tells of a seven-year period of drought and famine during the reign of pharaoh Djoser (reigned ca. 2686–2648 BC) of the Third Dynasty. It is thought that the stele was inscribed during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, which ruled from 332 to 31 BC. The inscription has been tentatively dated to the reign of king Ptolemy V (205 – 180 BC).
