  Merneptah Stele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Merneptah Stele (also known as the Israel Stele and the Victory Stele of Merneptah) is the reverse of a stele originally erected by the Ancient Egyptian king Thutmose III, but later inscribed by Merneptah.
It is also widely known as the "Israel stele", as it is the only Egyptian document generally accepted as mentioning "Israel", thus becoming the first known documentation of Israel.
Many Egyptologists refer to it as the "Israel stele" because of this, though the title is an erroneous one, as the stela is clearly not about Israel at all.

 IPM-UCONN-Red Stele Disease
Symptoms of red stele rarely occur in the first year of strawberry growth unless plants were severely diseased before planting or if soil conditions were suitable for rapid fungal growth.
The fungus which causes red stele is reported to persist in the soil for at feast 17 years, even in the absence of strawberry plants.
Because of this, crop rotation cannot be relied upon as a management strategy for red stele; However, a three to five-year rotation is a recommended practice for management of other root disorders, such as Verticillium wilt, fl root rot and nematodes.

 AXUM Stele - History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
While many of these stele were simple dressed stone slabs similar to menhirs or standing stones, they began to develop in style and dimension into a very unique art form peculiar to Axum.
Though the 32-meter stele is of great importance due to its impressive dimensions, in art-historical terms perhaps the most significant is the 24 meter stele, carved on all four sides - a considerable achievement for a monolith of these dimensions and the sole example of this quality.
The erection of the stele was carried out by Giuseppe Silvestrini who bonded the pieces of the stele together with three bronze dowels at each joint.

Symptoms of red stele include severe stunting, occasionally followed by death of plants.
