Obelisks

. . . Obelisks is one of the most prominent (images from Kemet – Ancient Egypt which have made its way into religious iconography). It was originally called a tekhen.

. . . The Washington Monument was completed on December 6, 1888 AD. On that day, a Freemasonic ceremony was performed to formally dedicate the memorial to George Washington. This structure is 555 feet and 5/8 inches and is the tallest obelisk in the world. The obelisk, or tekhen, has been used for hundreds of years in countries throughout the world as a gravemarker for the dead, particularly veterans wh happen to have also been Freemasons. This structure is one of the oldest symbols to represent the process of spiritual resurrection, and it was originally associated with the Kemetic Necher Ausar, who became known to the Western World as the Egyptian Deity Osiris.
