Trivia[]
- The obelisk in Central Park is referred to by New Yorkers as 'Cleopatra's Needle' though it was not commissioned by her. The Obelisk is a genuine Egyptian artifact commissioned by Pharaoh Thutmosis III around 1450 BC for his third jubilee. In the late 19th century it was moved to New York after being gifted by the Khedive of Egypt as a thank you for helping to modernize his nation. This obelisk is, along with New York's revolutionary war history, the reason for Manhattan being one of the areas to hold a Thelemic holy site.
