The Mission archeologique syro-francaise de Ras Shamra-Ougarit's own video listing page, whose own title for its 2020 video reads "La stele du Ba'al au foudre," describing it as covering the stele of "the Ba'al with thunderbolt" from the Musee du Louvre. Corroborated by the Louvre's own collections catalogue entry for the same object (inventory AO 15775 / RS 4.427), whose own title is "Stele du Baal au foudre" and whose own decor field lists "dieu ; Baal ; bras leve ; foudre," naming the Canaanite storm god Baal outright. The stele was excavated at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit), northern Syria, by Claude Schaeffer's mission in 1932.
