This stela was listed by Borchardt (1964) but he drew the texts without translating them or making comments. Moreover, photos were taken to this stela neither by Borchardt nor by any other scholar. Furthermore, the dating of the stela was not mentioned although the description of the scene is identified. Despite the information he had given, this stela was not among the archaeological pieces coded in Porter and Moss (PM). The current study aims to study the stela of Henyt in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo; after studying the iconography of the stela; deciphering the hieroglyphic inscriptions; analyzing the iconography of Henyt stela through comparative study; as well as analyzing the hierologic inscription; and finally giving an academic analysis explaining the dating of the stela. The study came to conclusion that this stela dates back to the end of First Intermediate period or beginning of the Middle Kingdom according to the titles and calligraphy of writing.
