"Cleopatra's Needle" by the Rev. James King is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work primarily focuses on the history and significance of the London Obelisk, also known as Cleopatra's Needle, while also providing a detailed exposition of the hieroglyphics inscribed on it. King delves into the religious and historical context of ancient Egyptian culture, shedding light on notable figures such as Thothmes III and Rameses II. The opening of the book introduces the London Obelisk, describing it as the largest quarried stone in England and emphasizing its historical connections to significant epochs in both Egyptian and Biblical history. King recounts his fascination with the hieroglyphs during a visit to Egypt, noting their ancient craftsmanship and religious significance. He sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the obelisk's origins, the process of its transport to London, and the interpretations of its inscriptions, suggesting that the hieroglyphs convey insights into the spiritual lives of the Egyptians and their connections to Biblical narratives.
