THE MAGIC OF OBELISKS
Tropea Editore, 2001.
Why did all the peoples who trod the soil of Egypt as conquerors feel a mysterious attraction for the obelisks, to the point of enduring extremely tiring transports to adorn their cities with these enigmatic monoliths? Who erected the obelisks, and why? What do the hieroglyphics carved on them mean? The strange power emanating from these monuments perhaps lies in the fact that they guard some secret that must be discovered, the answer to the mystery of life. A magical answer, linked to ancient hermetic rites: an interpretation of the world that must have frightened the popes, who tried to "tame" the obelisks by superimposing Christian symbols on them.
