Masara Stela

Masara Stela is a remembrance dating to the rule of Ahmose (1550-1525  B.C.E.), the  break  of  the New Kingdom. A quarry was open at Masara on the eastern bank of the Nile by Ahmose, and the limestone quarried there  was  old  for  temples  and  shrines  in  Luxor and Heliopolis. An official described Neferperet set up a Stela that  remembered  this  quarrying  natural action. The  repository  states  that  conquered  oxen,  taken  from  the  Hyksos, were practiced to trail the quarried stone from Masara to the banks of the Nile.
