The Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu Stele, also known as the Revelation Stele or the Re Stele, is an Egyptian funerary artifact of great archaeological and cultural significance. Dated to the New Kingdom period, approximately in the 7th century BCE, the stele was created for Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, a priest of the god Amun-Re.
The stele is made of painted wood and depicts Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu in an act of worship to the sun god Re-Harakhty, who is represented as a man with a falcon head, crowned with the solar disk. The priest is shown offering libations and incense to the god, in a scene typical of Egyptian religious practices that emphasized devotion to the gods and preparation for the afterlife. The stele also contains hieroglyphic inscriptions that detail prayers and hymns dedicated to the gods.
