but here’s a question to think about …. how come the steles had to be reconstructed? What if these reconstructions were not accurate?? – Perry
Good question, Perry. For those wondering about Perry’s question…I did not mention this in the article, but the Mesha Stele was broken by local Bedouins and had to be pieced together. Thus, I offer the Mesha Stele as secondary evidence.

The Mesha Stele indeed lies in the Louvre. You can see it to this day, a testament to the accessibility and longevity of this kind of evidence.
This is fascinating. I’m actually surprised that there are so few mentions of him, but I’m glad these steles exist.
