ìThe figure of the pyramid (on top of the obelisk) and that of
the obelisk, resembling the shape of a flame, caused these
monuments to be consecrated to the Sun and the Fire.
Obelisks were erected in honor of the Sun.î 7Obviously, the pyramid is completely Egyptian in origin. On the back of the
United States One Dollar bill you will also find this ancient symbol.
On the top of this pyramid
is the All Seeing Eye of
Horus, the name of the
Egyptian sun god.The All Seeing Eye is also found
on a fresco in the baptistery of the
Catholic basilica of Santa Maria
Maggiore in Rome (right).
Heliopolis was the Greek name given to the city, named after the god Helios,
another name for Apollo.
ì[Helios is] The sun god, son of Hyperion, depicted as driving
his chariot across the sky from east to west daily.î 8One of the 7 Wonders of the
ancient world is known as the
ìColossus of Rhodesî a statue that
stood approximately 110 feet tall.

similar to the Statue of Liberty in
the United States. The Colossus
was also alleged to have a symbol
of the sun displayed as a crown.The initiations into this cult included the pronouncement of being a child of the
sun and earth ñ the sun god and the earth mother goddess.
ìÖfor I am a Child of the Sun and the Earth.î 9
