Workers restoring the Karnak Temple complex in Luxor, Egypt, recently unearthed a stela (stone monument) that depicts the Roman emperor Tiberius as a pharaoh. The 2,000-year-old sandstone slab measures 23.6 × 15.7 inches (60 × 40 cm) and shows Tiberius standing next to the Egyptian deities Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Since Egypt was a Roman province during the reign of Tiberius, he would have been seen as responsible for maintaining ma’at (cosmic order). The accompanying inscription commemorates the renovations carried out on a wall at the Temple of Amun-Ra during the reign of Tiberius. The Gospel of Luke records that John the Baptist began his ministry in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (3:1).
