NOTES.

[1] For a full account of the removal of the obelisk and everything
connected with it, the reader is referred to the admirable book of the
late Commander Gorringe, entitled: _Egyptian Obelisks_. New York,
1882.

[2] This is the so-called "shield-name", the heraldic motto or device of
the Pharaoh, occurring in many variations on the obelisk.

[3] The two diadems referred to are 1) the crown surmounted by an Uræus
snake or cobra, symbolizing the king's power over life and death, and
2) the crown with the vulture--usually worn by goddesses and
queens--to proclaim him the "nourisher" or "protector" of his people.

[4] This is the longest of any Egyptian cartouche, and is written in two
vertical columns. It stands for the second cartouche given on page 36.

[5] The last hieroglyphs of the two columns of the cartouche form the
regal name: THOTH-MES.

[6] The custom of erecting obelisks in pairs in front of the gates of
temples has already been alluded to on page 20 (cf. the picture).

[7] The gold-metal mentioned here may have been only an alloy of copper
and gold. Some think that it was the _electrum_ of the ancients, which
was an alloy of silver and gold.

[8] This passage is supplied from the London Obelisk.

[9] This was a festival celebrated every thirty years, also called the
festival of the trentenary cycle. The real meaning of these highly
important festivals is not yet fully understood.

[10] This passage is totally destroyed and indecipherable.

[11] [glyphs] is an abbreviated form for [glyphs] QA "_to lift up, raise_";
therefore literally: "who has raised the crown".

[12] The white crown was that of Upper Egypt, which was then the most
important part of the empire and the seat of government (cf. page 31).

[13] This term may also be translated according to Dümichen "Horus of the
golden necklace". This necklace [glyphs] was the usual mark of
distinction for valor in battle, and it was the king's prerogative to
bestow it on his chiefs. Horus, the avenger of his father Osiris, is
the Mars of Roman mythology. The whole expression, therefore, means
"the valiant hero".

[14] USER-MÂ-RÂ-SOTEP-EN-RÂ is the royal or divine name of the "Pharaoh of
the Oppression", which signifies: _the Sun, mighty in Truth, chosen of
the Sun_.

[15] AMEN-MER-RÂ-MESES-SU is the family name of the same Pharaoh, or his
name as prince before he ascended the throne, and signifies: _the
beloved of Amen, the Sun, who begets himself_.

[16] ATEN is another name of the sun-god Râ. This deity was represented as
the sun giving forth rays, each of which terminated in a hand holding
the sign [glyphs] (ÂNKH) "_life_"). The picture on page 30 will make
this plain.

[17] KHEPERA, literally "_the Creator_", is another name of the sun-god and
represents the invisible sun of night. The beetle ([glyphs]) or scarab
was sacred to this deity, whose picture is given on page 28.

[18] _i. e._ like the ever-rising sun (cf. page 28).

[19] MÂ is the Egyptian goddess of Truth.

[20] PTAH-TATHUNEN is a name of Ptah as the chief deity of Memphis in Lower
Egypt. Cf. the Glossary.
