Stele

A stele is like a special sign or marker that tells people about something important. Sort of like a sign that says "Here is something very special!"

But instead of just being any old sign on the street or sidewalk, a stele is usually a very big and important one that was made a long time ago.

People in ancient times would create steles to tell others about important events or people. They would often carve a picture or writing into it, so that people who didn't know much about the event or person could learn about it.

So when you see a stele, remember that it's a special marker that tells you something important about history.
