La Estela del Inventario fue descubierta en un pequeño templo dedicado a la diosa Isis por Auguste Mariette, arqueólogo y egiptólogo francés, en 1858.

La inscripción también se refería a Isis como la “Señora de la Pirámide”, lo que implica que el monumento había sido dedicado a la diosa de la magia y no a Keops en absoluto, como se había sugerido durante mucho tiempo.

The stela dates back to the 26th Dynasty, an epoch known as the Saitic Period (c. 670 BC, contains a list of 22 different divine statues owned by a Temple of Isis and other writings that have been also rejected by orthodox Egyptologists as fake.

The Stela, of which the original size is unknown (it was already damaged, when it was found), is made of polished granite and decorated with a commemorative inscription and a so-called apparition window.

What we all know officially is that the famous Pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, Khufu (Cheops), built the Great Pyramid, the famous Sphinx, and other Giza structures.

The text left on the Inventory Stela disagrees with these “facts” and proposes that both the Great Pyramid and the Temple of Isis existed before the time of Khufu (c. 2580 BC). It also tells how Khufu came upon the Sphinx, already buried in the sand.

Text on the stela challenges the conventional chronology of historical events in ancient Egypt.

The text on the stone informs:

“Long live The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Khufu, given life

He found the house of Isis, Mistress of the Pyramid, by the side of the hollow of Hwran (The Sphinx) and he built his pyramid beside the temple of this goddess and he built a pyramid for the King’s daughter Henutsen beside this temple. The place of Hwran Horemakhet is on the Southside of the House of Isis, the Mistress of the pyramid.

He restored the statue, all covered in painting, of the guardian of the atmosphere, who guides the winds with his gaze. He replaced the back part of the Nemes headdress, which was missing with gilded stone. The figure of this god, cut in stone, is solid and will last to eternity, keeping its face looking always to the East ‘(10).

Regarding the enigmatic Sphinx, the text is even more controversial because it states that lightning struck the tail of the headdress of the Sphinx and destroyed it and the Sphinx was already at its place long before the pharaoh Khufu came to power. Khufu built his temple in the vicinity of the “house of the Sphinx” and probably only renovated the Great Pyramid.

Zecharia Sitchin considered the Inventory Stela – “a must-see” artifact.

The Temple of Isis existed before the time of Khufu.

He wrote in his book “Journeys to the Mythical Past” that the stela was irrefutable proof, provided by Khufu/Cheops himself, that he did not build the Great Pyramid and that the Great Pyramid (and Sphinx) were already there in his time.

Many have questioned the authenticity of the stela, but “not all the Egyptologists of the early 20th century were doubters” Sitchin writes.

James H. Breasted included the Inventory Stela in the list of Fourth Dynasty artifacts. He believed the stela to be likely genuine because as he said it “bore all the marks of the authenticity”.

Además, el egiptólogo francés Gaston Maspero (“El amanecer de la civilización”) dijo sobre la estela que incluso “si era de una época posterior, era una copia de un artefacto auténtico anterior y, por lo tanto, un registro fáctico de la vida y los hechos”. de Keops…”

Mariette, la descubridora de la controvertida estela, admitió que la datación del artefacto es discutible; sin embargo, la historia inscrita en la estela debe considerarse histórica.

“Podemos discutir sobre la época en que se tallaron estos textos. . . pero no podemos discutir sobre el contenido de la información proporcionada en el texto. . . También observamos que la Gran Esfinge se muestra entre las otras estatuas que se mencionan. Este símbolo colosal [la Esfinge] ya existía en la época de Keops [Khufu]. En consecuencia, es más antigua que las pirámides reales” (Mariette 1872), citado por R. M. Schoch en “Orígenes de la Esfinge”.

El artefacto sigue siendo una controversia.
