[Number of solar symbols] edit

The Wikipedia entry mentions 2 solar symbols. That is not the state of archaeological knowledge. The top of the stele was damaged and there are three solar symbols: https://books.google.gr/books?id=iCeeDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA87&lpg=PA87&dq=the+third+sun+on+the+stele+of+naram-sin&source=bl&ots=N1cKQdOgdm&sig=ACfU3U19t3yU9KMeZlE2kT7GqFzgyrfitA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj4zKumtqP5AhXjhP0HHdnTCqQQ6AF6BAgvEAM#v=onepage&q=the%20third%20sun%20on%20the%20stele%20of%20naram-sin&f=false

I have other sources that could be of interest for Naram-Sin.

Needs a strenuous editing in English by a native or more fluent English speaker edit

There are many elements that suggest either a very young student or someone translating from another article has done the work on this. The visual analysis is very strong, including the notes on the use of receding diagonals in the piece, but the grammar and usage are a bit uneven. It would be good to bring the language usage level up to that of the content.74.94.135.197 (talk) 01:30, 16 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

This is not specifically speaking about the Stele but it does show historical context of the stories of Naram-Sin. (4)
