The Kilamuwa Stela was discovered at Zinjirli which is in Syria and the capital city of the Aramean kings of Yaudy, known in Assyrian sources as Sam'al. It was formerly a Luwian city (related to the Old Hittite Kingdom). It was discovered in 1902. Four deities appears with Kilamuwa on the inscription that is in the Phoenician Language. Various scholars discussed this inscription and one of the recent ones is Anson F. Rainey.

We are presenting our own rendering of the text using structuralism to analyze the various phrases. His name is Anatolian and his mother was not a Semite either.
