Gozan Pedestal inscription
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gozan Pedestal inscription,[1] also known as the Tell Halaf inscription, was an ancient Aramaic description discovered in Tell Halaf in 1933, and published in 1940. The inscription was on a limestone stele. It was destroyed in November 1943 during the Battle of Berlin, when a phosphorus bomb destroyed the Tell Halaf Museum.[2][3]
The inscription is known as KAI 231.
