But what does it say?

 


Detail from the Manishtushu Obelisk, a four-sided stele made of diorite.

The obelisk was made by Manishtushu, son of Sargon the Great, of the Akkadian Empire, who ruled circa 2270-2255 BC.  As a spoil of war, the stele was taken to Susa by the Elamite king Shutruk-Nakhunte in the 12th century BC.
