View of the Obelisk of Ramesses II (r. ca. 1279-1213 BC) in the Luxor Temple.
The ancient Egyptians were originally called them tekhenu which means “to pierce” as in “to pierce the sky”.
hmm nope, txn has many meanings but not ‘to pierce’
Like many things in Ancient Egypt, ‘obelisk’ is the Greek word for this structure, and Teken is the original Egyptian name. Teken literally just means the same as obelisk.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
