Cleopatra’s Needle, isn’t that the one Egypt wants back because we aren’t properly protecting and caring for it? It seems the worshipers would be raising funds to care for it.
That lady is creepy. I would have told her not to worry and doesn’t she know that if they’re proper satanists— they won’t show up in a photo anyhow and I’m just doing a quality check, then I would have cackled like mad. She would have puzzled a minute and then she would have thought me nuts... maybe enough to back off. :p
Two of the four sides are badly weathered, thereby making it difficult to make out the hieroglyphics. As a onetime geology major years ago, I learned the reason for this is that it had been halfway submerged in mud for many years in Egypt, and when it got here, various salts contained in the mud began to react in the comparatively moist NY climate and those sides began to deteriorate. The other 2 sides look like they were carved yesterday.
