Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Leviticus, vi: I.)--We give here a picture of
the obelisk at Heliopolis, because it stands amid the ruins of the ancient city of On, where Moses was educated. This obelisk
stood in front of the Temple of the Sun. This was erected about 2400 years before Christ by Usertsen I. It is 62 feet 4 inches
high above the level of the ground; 66 feet 6 inches above the pavement. It is built of red rose granite. The inscription
on the obelisk of Heliopolis is translated in part as follows: 'The horus of the sun. The life for those who are born. The
king of the upper and lower land. Kheper-ka-Ra. The lord of the double crown. The life for those who are born. The sun of
the Sun God. Ra-Usertsen. The friend of the spirits of On ever living. The garden of Horus. The life for those who are born.
The gracious God." See 5111BAI/LVi29CAJS (Voyager # 356787)
