A Monumenf Consecrated to the Sun-God. Decipherment of the Hieroglyfics on the New York Pillar. Commemoration of the Two Greatest Pharoahs of Egyptian History. The Oldest Dating Bnek to Sixteen Hun- dred Years Before Christ. Every one who looks upon the obelisk which has bgen set up in New York Central Park will desire to know the meaning of the strange signs carved upon it, and of the work itself. ‘here is some variation in the decifer- ments made by learned scholars, but the most trustworthy doubtless is that of Dr. Heinrich Brugseh Bey, which has been transiated by the New York Herald. The distinzuished Egyptologist observes: Obelisks have their | origin in the very earliest period of Xy, antiquity. [t s true that no obelisks, either whole or in fragments, dating from so remote an age, are now known to be extant; but the inscriptions which cover the wortuary chapels and monuments of the fourth and fifth dynasties—that is, from 3,700 to 5,300 years B. C.—prove beyond any doubt that the Egyptians of those days wore fawiliar with the use of obelisks, which were - CONSECRATED TO THE SUN, —the most ancient as well as the most natural symbol of that One Eternal Divinity wor- shiped by the Egyptians, ‘These inscriptions moreover bear out the traditions deseribed by Pliny, who expressiy says that obelisks were alwayé so place to be in, symmetrical proportion to the r of the sun; and Igyptian hierogly prove that the shape of these singular monu- ments was intended to recall the form of the sun’s, rays, whieh, emergzimmg trom a given point and spreading over the surface ot the ecarth, seem to awaken nature and give re- newed life to all animate beings. This qo; nection between obelisks and the sun is still farther shown by the fact that all known Leyptian obelisks are dedieated to the sun and to solar divinities, such 2s Ra and Tum at Heliopolis, and Amon-ra at ‘Theves. ‘The great city of obelisks was i O, OR HELIOPOLIS, with its renowned Temple of the Sun-god, bearing the name “Pi-tum”—that the “Jlouse of Tum.”” This name was also ap- plied to the city itselt, which thus bore the sacred appellation of - *Pi-Tum.” The sanetuary in question was composed of & vast number of pylons, - hali and chambe: among which the fexts often mention *The Hall of the Two Obe- lisks’—in Egyptian lut-beben, where the sun was_worshiped under the two names of Tt and Tum—that is, the rising sun and the ting sun.

THUTMES I This obelisk was mnde at the command of Thutines 11L, who reizned sixtecn centuries before the birth of Christ. It was this famous conqueror who planted his standard in the centre of Africa and who erected massive stone monuments on the banks of the Euphrates in memory of his victories, Wisning to honor the solar divinity in the Temple of On, hie cdused two obelisks to be constructed, bearing his names and titles, a3 an offering of {hanks for the divine pre teetion . Which his god = had deigned to accord him -during his campaigu in Central Africa_and_on_ the plains of Mesopotamia, The inscriptions which he caused to be made form the middle perpen-, dicular lines of each of the four faces of the New York obelisk, Unfortunateiy only upon two faces has the text_remained intact. In the translatiof which I give below I have in- dieated these 1o faces by the letters A and B. Asto the five names of the King I would refer to the remarks at the commencement of thisariicle. The two faces C and D have been so exposed to the influcnce of the weather and sea air that most of the text of the middle lines has disappe B ‘Ihe tops of obelisks, as is well known, were in the shape ot pyramids—the so-calle pyramidion.
