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. |
