1. Vaticano in Saint Peter’s Square
The ancient Egyptian Obelisk, an early religious symbol to the sun god Ra, fascinates visitors to Rome, which contains more Egyptian obelisks than any other single location and hosts nearly as many as the entire country of Egypt today!
Only 33 Egyptian Obelisks remain intact; only nine remain in Egypt, while eight were set up in Rome at the height of the Holy Roman Empire and still grace Rome’s cityscape today. For more information about the Egyptian Obelisk I recommend you visit the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk
I became fascinated with the Obelisk, with its mix of antiquity, religious iconography, and architectural form, after visiting both Rome and Egypt within a year of one another. Once I found out that so few remain in the world, a photo quest formed, like an old-fashioned scavenger hunt, but using photographs to document my subjects along the way. I have begun my hunt and now have one section complete!
Photography lends itself particularly well as a hobby to a large-scale scavenger hunt of whatever moves or intrigues you. We live in a world of lists, and it is easy to find a subject matter and follow it with camera in hand to capture images that inspire you.
My trek will hopefully lead me through eight countries on four continents to complete my collection. For now, I have photographed Obelisks in New York, Paris, Florence, Egypt, and have recently completed my collection of Egyptian Obelisks in Rome.

In the map above, Red dots (numbered 1-8) signify Egyptian Obelisks in Rome, while blue dots (lettered A-E) represent Roman Obelisks, easily as beautiful but from a slightly later time period. What follows are my images from the eight Egyptian obelisks in Rome, along with a few of the Roman offerings as well.

The centerpiece of St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, the Vaticano, without hieroglyphs, serves both as an iconic and ironic pagan symbol in the heart of the Catholic World.

My dear, please understand that the reason so many problems are
being hurled in your direction at this time is to try to take your mind
off our work.
Our project is designed to work with the EIGHT OBELISKS IN ROME. These obelisks connect with all the other obelisks worldwide which incorporate all the ley lines. Their ENERGY must be released.
I ask that everyone combine your energies to do this. You are powerful beings. Use your power to release Earth’s energies to humanity. Please give your all to this exercise. Veronica’s team has provided you with the MEDITATION. This is how it can be done. Give your full attention to it and keep doing it, until you are free of all negative control systems, and all the killing has stopped.
Humanity has come together, and by working together you will free yourselves from all the corrupt control.
Let love be your guiding light. We are with you at all times.
Thank you, my dear, for putting so much effort into this. We will succeed !
Forever, your adoring, Monty
