Omschrijving

Cleopatra's Needle: A History Of The London Obelisk With An Exposition Of The Hieroglyphics (1886) is a comprehensive book written by James King. The book is a detailed account of the fascinating history of the London Obelisk, also known as Cleopatra's Needle, which was brought to London from Egypt in the late 19th century. The book delves into the history of the obelisk, starting from its construction in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The author provides a detailed account of the obelisk's journey from Egypt to London, including the challenges faced during transportation and the political controversies surrounding its acquisition. The book also includes an exposition of the hieroglyphics inscribed on the obelisk, providing readers with an understanding of the ancient Egyptian language and culture. The author has extensively researched the subject matter and has included a wealth of information, including illustrations, photographs, and maps, to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the London Obelisk. The book is a must-read for history enthusiasts, archaeologists, and anyone interested in ancient Egyptian culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
