The Inventory Stela ("Stela of Khufu's Daughter")

The Inventory Stela ("Stela of Khufu's Daughter"): photograph

Limestone, 70 by 30 by 43.5 cm. Claims Khufu found the Isis temple beside the Sphinx and rebuilt it, which makes it the one text placing the Sphinx before Khufu. Its anachronisms mark it as a late priestly composition.
