""A Short History Of The Egyptian Obelisks"" is a book written by William Ricketts Cooper and published in 1877. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, significance, and cultural importance of the obelisks of ancient Egypt. The author begins by discussing the origin and purpose of obelisks, which were originally erected as religious monuments to honor the gods. He then delves into the history of obelisks, tracing their development from the earliest examples in the Old Kingdom to the massive structures of the New Kingdom. Cooper also explores the symbolism and meaning behind obelisks, discussing their association with the sun god Ra and their use in funerary rituals. He also discusses the transportation and erection of obelisks, which were often massive and required great skill and resources to move and place. Throughout the book, Cooper provides numerous examples of famous obelisks, including the Cleopatra's Needle in London and the Luxor Obelisk in Paris. He also discusses the discovery and excavation of obelisks in modern times, shedding light on the ongoing fascination with these ancient structures. Overall, ""A Short History Of The Egyptian Obelisks"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history and culture, as well as the art and architecture of the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
