Summary
DescriptionNectanebo II obelisk.jpg |
English: Black siltstone obelisk of King Nectanebo II of Egypt, Thirtieth dynasty, about 350 BC.
According to the vertical inscriptions Nectanebo set up this obelisk at the doorway of the sanctuary of Thoth, the Thrice-Great, Lord of Hermopolis. Nowadays the obelisk is placed in the British Museum, London. Hieroglyphs: to "set-up" the obelisk, the Mast-hieroglyph is found on left-face, at mid-point. (The Mast..or.."aha", in "S-aha", is the verb, to erect. (s-combinations, are often verbs)). (The Mast, 'aha' is an adjective or verb, "to-stand-up", erect, erected.) Near the bottom of the same column, can be found hieroglyphs: Reed, (flowering), the Black-(soil)-(Kem)-(crocodile skin(?) hieroglyph, and adjacent to it: the Bone-with-meat hieroglyph. |
