3.04 Obelisks

An obelisk is a free standing phallic-like structure which is generally made of monolithic stone. The first Greco-Roman obelisk-like structures were called triumphal columns (e.g., Trajan's Column) whose historical origins are noted around 113 A.D. Naturally, the former Roman imperial capitals of Rome (Babylon) and Constantinople (Istanbul) are still home to a majority of these triumphal columns. After the alleged fall of the Roman Empire (despite never being defeated militarily), triumphal columns were evidently replaced by obelisks. Although modern historical accounts state that obelisks are Egyptian in origin, they are in essence gravestones of the Roman Empire which are shaped in the form of an erect Roman sword, otherwise known as a gladius (see photo). It is imperative to note that the entire Egyptian myth and historical narrative was created as part of an elaborate scheme to cover up the true origins of the Greco-Roman empire, obelisks included. Aside from the Roman gladius (sword) which currently doubles as an obelisk atop the massive Mother Motherland statue in Kiev, Ukraine, a total of 419 obelisks have been identified around the world thus far. Why the allegedly Egyptian obelisk is found on every continent and in almost every country is rather mysterious until it’s understood that the obelisks is a symbol of Roman death, whether it be financial, spiritual, or physically speaking. Consequently, it’s only fitting that the largest and most famous of obelisks are found in the locations which are, at least publicly, responsible for the most amount of deaths (i.e., financial—London, England (Cleopatra's Needle); spiritual—Rome (Vatican City), Italy (Vatican Piazza San Pietro Obelisk); and militarial—Washington, D.C., (Washington Monument). According to modern historical sources, a dagger, or obelisk, U+2020 † dagger (HTML: † †), is a typographical symbol or glyph. The term "obelisk" derives from Greek ὀβελίσκος (obeliskos), which means "little obelus"; from Ancient Greek: ὀβελός (obelos) meaning "roasting spit".[1] It was originally represented by the ÷ symbol and was first used by the Ancient Greek scholars as critical marks in manuscripts.

Defining "Obelisk”

Although the Australian government has stated that obelisks were built as a guiding mark for sailors, the term "obelisk" (B+L+S+K) essentially means “Babylon System Kill”. Roman obelisks mark the graves of millions who have been killed by the notorious “Babylon System” so that the Roman Empire can thrive unabated in Greenland. Similar to gravestones which mark the location of a deceased man, woman or child, obelisks mark the location of a major battle or war in which large amounts of soldiers and civilians died. Over the last centuries, hundreds of millions of soldiers who thought they were fighting for their respective countries (e.g., Spain, Portugal, England, America, etc.), were, in reality, fighting for Rome, albeit disguised. Obelisks are a tragic testament to the well-disguised and deadly sword of the Roman Empire whom to date has been very successful in convincing mankind to kill their own brothers over fraudulent, petty and trivial reasons, hence the irony of war.

Scottish Mercat Crosses

Known as Mercat Crosses in Scotland, obelisks admittedly mark the location where public executions took place and where government proclamations were made, which were all too often one and the same thing. Because Scotland is located relatively close to Greenland, it is home to over 188 obelisks (e.g., mercat crosses and war memorials), each representing a distinct massacre of Scottish people. This is likely why graves are often marked with a cross, a tribute to the original mercat crosses of Scotland. The term “mercat” (M+R+C/K+T) was likely derived from the words “mark it” which was made in respect to the marking of the location where a massacre had taken place. Aside from serving as a mass gravestone, mercat crosses served as a daily reminder of those who were previously executed which is why they are generally found at the center of cities and towns. This is also where the term “market” (M+R+C/K+T) was likely derived from as weekly business was purposely conducted around the local mercat cross so that all of the people would be forced to witness the mass grave of their fellow Scottish countryman on a regular basis; an rudimentary form of psychological terrorism. The notion that obelisks are in fact nothing more than fancy Roman gravestones is corroborated by fact that millions of gravestones, mercat crosses and war memorials are shaped in the form of an obelisk. One example of this is the grave of British heroine Alice Ayres which is marked with an obelisk in London, England.

Obelisk Height to Death Ratio?

Although further research must be conducted, it does appears that the taller a given obelisk, the higher the death toll of that particular battle or war. For example, George Washington was the man responsible for leading American troops into the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) which killed 52,294 people, give or take a few thousands. Washington and his heroic battlefield exploits are currently celebrated by the largest of obelisk in the world known as the Washington Monument. Located in Washington D.C., the obelisk is 555 feet 5 1/8 inches tall. Although Washington’s death toll is officially 3,257 short of 55,551, the numbers are close enough to imply that a death-to-height ration may be in effect for Roman obelisks. Another example is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, possibly the largest obelisk ever built at 1,063 feet. Although not made of stone, the Eiffel Tower (1889) was built exactly 100 years after the French Revolution (1789) which implies that it is a massive gravestone to the scores of French people who were slaughtered during the Reign of Terror. Using the same "height-to-death ration applied to Washington Monument, an estimated 100,000+ people died during the French Revolution, roughly 60,000 more than what is admitted by modern historical accounts.
