“Cleopatra’s Needles” refer to an ancient pair of Tkhn  [obelisks] which were originally constructed and inscribed for 18^th Dynasty Pharaoh Tuthmose III [1504-1450 BCE] at his Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis. These Twin Tkhn, which have their sacred place in a seminal & yet-unfolding Africa-centered narrative, were moved c1400 years later to the Caesareum temple in Alexandria Egypt built by Cleopatra VII during her reign [51-30 BCE]. The Tkhn were renamed for Cleopatra during the subsequent Roman takeover, & remained installed in Alexandria for almost 2 millennia. Described in Scottish painter David Roberts‘ travelogue ‘…Egypt and Nubia’ as the most striking monuments of ancient Alexandria, “Cleopatra’s Needles” later became geographically separated between London & New York where they were shipped and re-erected in 1878 & 1881 respectively.

With “Cleopatra” as its ongoing sideshow, the world has since become entangled in a profane Europatriarchal web of Gregorian-curated timelines, principals, narratives & agendas… an interwoven industrial “world order” staged around the indoor-outdoor museums of “her[?] needles.” Humanity may ascend out of this shadowy 3D matrix system by recentering the Twin Tkhn of Pharaoh Tuthmose III at their original settings, thereby (i) gaining an Africa-centered lens into humanity’s organic/indigenous space-time & unity-conscious cultural agency; & (ii) exposing hegemonic histories & world-views fabricated & upheld around “Cleopatra’s Needles” standings in latter-day “East-West/E-W“ coordinates & meridians:

• 1504-1450 BCE – Heliopolis [@30.1123° N, 31.3439° E] – original African site of the twin Tkhn of Tuthmose III at the Temple of the Sun
• 51-30 BCE – Caesareum of Alexandria [@31.2009°N, 29.8994°E] is established – Queen Cleopatra’s homage to Roman Dictator Julius Caesar – her partner (for whom the Gregorian calendar month of “July” was named in 44 BCE) and father to his unacknowledged son, Caesarion. The Caesareum [depicted] is the site where the twin Tkhn of Tuthmose III were moved to in ancient Egypt & redesignated as “Cleopatra’s Needles.”
• 1619 CE – Enslaved Africans bound for America first set foot in Jamestown, VA – a British colony under King James I since 1607.
• 1776 CE – America’s official year of Independence from Britain. By the 1700s, British settlements in America had formed into 13 colonies: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, N. Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, S. Carolina, & Virginia.
• 1791 CE – The original boundaries of Washington D.C. are established by George Washington (America’s 1st President) & Pierre L’Enfant. 40 milestones between the states of Virginia & Maryland demarcate the boundaries of federal territory that become the 100 square mile “District of Columbia” until Virginia’s secession in 1801. Benjamin Banneker, a self-educated astronomer and mathematician who’s on the surveying team, lays the southernmost cornerstone in Alexandria, VA which aligns with the northernmost cornerstone in Chevy Chase, MD to create Washington, D.C.’s S-N Meridian that runs through the White House center & due north up 16^th Street where several African embassies, places of worship for various faiths, & the Scottish Rite Masons’ House of the Temple are located. Banneker, a “Free Black,” is also able to recreate from memory and through astronomical calculations the entire plan for Washington D.C. after L’Enfant quits & takes the original plans with him. It’s a fascinating layer of irony, given that Washington [born 2/22/1732] who’d  been initiated as a Freemason on November 4^th, 1752, had been a slaveholder since age 11.
• 1848 CE – The Washington Monument [@38.8895° N, 77.0353° W] – one of the most iconic symbols of America as a global super-power is planned to become a white marble & granite replica of the monolithic Tkhn of ancient African spiritual lore & its current unfolding…
  • [January 31] Congressional authorization is obtained by the Washington National Monument Society to pay homage to America’s 1^st president.
  • [July 4] Under 11^th U.S. president, James K. Polk [term: 3/4/1845 – 3/3/1849], the monument’s 24,500-lb. marble cornerstone is laid, containing a zinc case with copies of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, & other keepsakes.
• 1878 CE – A “Cleopatra’s Needle” is transported from Alexandria, Egypt & installed [@51.5085° N, 0.1203° W] during September at Victoria’s Embankment – built 1870 in London England. 
• 1881 CE – A “Cleopatra’s Needle” is transported from Alexandria, Egypt & installed in Central Park, New York [@40.7796° N, 73.9654° W]. During the installation of this Twin Tkhn in January 1881, U.S. Secretary of State William Evarts wonders aloud: “Who indeed can tell what our nation will do if any perversity is possible of realization; and yet this obelisk may ask us, ‘Can you expect to flourish forever? Can you expect wealth to accumulate and man not decay? Can you think that the soft folds of luxury are to wrap themselves closer and closer around this nation and the pith and vigor of its manhood know no decay? Can it creep over you and yet the nation know no decrepitude?’ These are questions that may be answered in the time of the obelisk but not in ours…” [NOTE: Constructions of time, space, & containment to which Evarts is subscribed don’t apply to the Tkhn’s Africa-centered timeline]
• 1884 CE – 3 EVENTS occur to consolidate the hegemonic Europatriarchal 3D matrix timeline:
  • #1: [October, 1884] – The International Meridian Conference is held in Washington, D.C. at the request of America’s 21^st president, Chester Arthur [term: 9/20/1881 – 3/4/1885] to determine a prime meridian for international use “as a common zero of longitude and standard of time reckoning throughout the world.” 26 countries, none African, participate in the conference and vote to make London’s Greenwitch Meridian as the international standard for zero degrees longitude. This meridian is shared by major sites such as Broadcasting House [@0.143691°W… BBC HQ]; British Library [@0.1277° W… home of 2 complete 1455 Gutenberg Bibles]; British Museum [@0.1270° W… ‘home” of several stolen African artifacts]; Kensington Palace [@0.1877° W… Victoria‘s 1819 birth-place]; Westminster Abbey [@0.1273° W… coronation-site]; Buckingham Palace [@0.1419° W… monarch’s residence & site of Victorian balcony pomp]; 10 Downing Street [@0.1276° W… PM‘s home office]; Trafalgar Square [@0.1281° W]; Big Ben [@0.1245°W]; Windsor Castle [@0.6044° W… where, since 1879 under Victoria, the remains of Prince Alemayehu, son of Ethiopian Emperor Tewodros II continue to be held hostage by the colonizing monarch’s current descendant]; Lancaster House [@0.1392° W… site of “Independence conferences” for countries in Africa]; Tower of London [@0.0759° W… fortress of allegedly-stolen “crown jewels”]; Imperial College [@0.1749° W]; University of Cambridge [@0.1132° E]; Frogmore Cottage [@0.5980° W]; & the Royal Observatory [@0.0005° W… built 1676]. The Greenwitch Meridian also runs thru the African countries of Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, & Ghana before it intersects the unassailable “East-West” 0°-meridian of the Equator over the Atlantic slave trade route. All African countries which share the trauma of the Maafa and were excluded from the International Meridian Conference, should ask those who owe Reparations from their slavery-based profiteering: “How is the Atlantic Crossing universally acceptable as 0°-crossroads?” This question becomes more “URGENT” within the following context:
  • #2: [November 15, 1884 – February 26, 1885] – The Berlin Conference aka “The Scramble for Africa” by mainly 7 European colonial invaders & pillagers: France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, & Britain [under Queen Victoria – aka “GrandMother of Europe“ who reigned 1837-1901]. Having established Greenwitch as the 0°-dividing line of Europe’s evolving matrix, it becomes necessary for Britain in particular to “secure the bag” by largely focusing their colonial divisons of humanity’s Mother continent along Her organic Prime Meridian & Ma’atrix which aligns with the original African site of the twin Tkhn of Tuthmose III at the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis [@30.1123° N, 31.3439° E]. “Cape to Cairo” was an unholy mission interpreted by Cecil John Rhodes – an avowed white supremacist, reported pedophile, architect of apartheid, & agent of other colonial chaos – as a call for the “civilization of darkest Africa.” To him this meant exploitation of Africa’s vast mineral wealth, to which end he founded organizations such as De Beers, British South Africa Company, & Consolidated Gold Fields – some of the spoils of which compose the so-called crown jewels inherited by King Charles III upon the passing of his mother, Elizabeth II – Victoria‘s great-great grandaughter & Britain’s queen from 1952 to 2022. Rhodes remains buried in Zimbabwe [colonial ‘Rhodesia’] since his death in 1902, while Britain erected an altar to him in the form of his statue at Oxford U. in 1934. [QUESTION: Does Britain not want Rhodes’ remains repatriated, as Mother Africa has repeatedly requested from Britain of Her own?!]
  • #3: [December 6, 1884] – Construction completion of the Tkhn replica in honor of America’s slaveowning first president is marked by the capstone & aluminum point being set in place at 2:17 p.m.
• 1886 CE – The Statue of Liberty [@40.6892° N, 74.0445° W] is unveiled on October 28… although it won’t be until 1924 when New York’s Liberty Island colossus is designated a National Monument. Depending on traffic routes, Lady Liberty stands within 5-8 miles of the Central Park Tkhn of Tuthmose III. Tuthmose is also spelled “Tuthmosis” [biblical “Moses”?], both Eurocentric versions of “Dhwty-Ms” [Khmt – meaning “born of the god Djehuti” – Gr. “Thoth”], a name that itself was variously rendered “Djhutmose, Thothmose…” etc. – & used by various 18th Dynasty figures in Khmt. It was Pharaoh Tuthmose III who notably referred to Khmt’s Goddess Seshat as Sefkhet-Abwy [meaning “She of 7 Points”] in direct reference to her signature crown. Among her several attributes, Seshat was highly revered in Khmt as Goddess of Architects & Builders… Foremost of the per-Ankh… Reckoner of Time… & Opener of Heaven’s Door. Seshat‘s 7-pointed crown is reflected in that assigned to Lady Liberty – a statue inspired by French Abolitionist Édouard René de Laboulaye to commemorate America’s 1865 end to slavery, altho translation of the statue’s features idolize a Greco-Roman phenotype. Even the words in Emma Lazarus‘ officially-acceptable poem The New Colossus hearken back to Goddess Seshat as Opener of Heaven’s Door…
• 1888 CE – The Washington Monument opens to the public on October 9.
• 1948 CE – Apartheid [meaning “apartness” in Afrikaans, a Eurocentric divide-&-conquer antithesis to the Africa-centered unity-conscious philosophy of UbuNtu, meaning “I Am, because We Are…”] becomes the official policy of legalized racism in white minority-ruled S. Africa. As one of only 4 African UN members, S. Africa does not sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris – 12/10/1948.
• 1957 CE – Under the Father of Pan-Africanism – Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah – Ghana becomes the 1st African country to gain Independence from colonial rule, then under Elizabeth II of Britain. This comes amidst ongoing Independence struggles throughout Africa & the Civil Rights struggles of African descendants in America – a movement which officially began in 1954 – 89 years beyond June 19th, 1865 CE, “Juneteenth“ – when emancipation from slavery was 1st announced in Texas. ❤ ❤ ❤ A Luta Continua…

Many say that humanity has lost its “True North” – the compass which guides us in our bid to evolve in our discernment thru life. Yet, True North is said to have revealed itself to enslaved Africans in America seeking passage to freedom on the Underground Railroad via their culturally encrypted “Drinking Gourd“. Perhaps this was a resource Banneker was able to tap into so as to recreate the plan for Washington DC around its South-North/East-West axis. The indigenous American culture of the Cherokee have a saying: A Woman’s highest calling is to lead a Man to his soul so as to unite him with Source. A Man’s highest calling is to protect Woman, so She is free to walk the Earth [i.e. ‘The Medicine Wheel‘] unharmed. Timeless proverbs from Khmt advise: Men need images. Lacking them they invent idols. Better then to found the images on realities that lead the True Seeker to Source… A woman’s heart is her own Ntr… If you search for the laws of harmony, you will find knowledge… Knowledge is consciousness of reality. Reality is the sum of the laws that govern nature/Ntr & of the causes from which they flow.

Earth is generally considered to have four hemispheres comprising the Southern/Northern halves, and Eastern/Western halves. Demarcated by the Equator‘s unassailable line of 0-degrees latitude, the Southern-Northern halves are impacted differently throughout each year in relation to Earth’s seasonal tilt towards and away from the Sun. This organic relationship between celestial bodies was understood and reflected in the heliocentric sacred observances of Heliopolis… while the more mysterious Divine Feminine Moon energy acts as a Satellite/Guide/Uniter with Source.

Occupied since the Predynastic Period [pre-3100 BCE when Khmt’s Early Dynastic Period began with the Sema-Tawy bonding of the 2 “South-North” Lands] 𓉺𓏌𓊖, Jwnw, Iunu, or Onu (meaning ‘the pillars’) was one of Khmt’s most ancient cities. Referred to as On in the bible, it became known as a major religious rather than political center. Heliopolis – the Romanized form of the Greek name meaning ‘City of the Sun’ – greatly expanded during the Old & Middle Kingdoms, but its temples & buildings were later scavenged for the construction of medieval Cairo. Under Augustus (for whom the month of “August” was named) the Tkhn of Montecitorio, amongst others, was relocated to Rome.

The 1878 installation of Cleopatra’s Needle at the Victoria Embankment in London is notable because of its particular Western coordinate [@0.1203° W] that was lobbied and voted for at the 1884 International Meridian Conference to become the Prime Meridian/line of 0°-longitude that now “officially” separates Mother Earth’s East & West hemispheres. Along that meridian are British palaces & other posh places such as Buckingham, Lancaster, Westminster, Kensington, Frogmore, Windsor, Trafalgar, Big Ben, 10 Downing St., Tower of London, British Library, Royal Observatory, BBC…

Meanwhile, in alignment with Cleopatra’s Needle in NY City [@73.9654° West of Greenwitch’s “Prime” Meridian] are major properties such as Empire State Bldg., Times Square, United Nations HQ, Wall Street, Rockefeller Ctr., One World Trade Ctr. (where the Twin Towers stood before 9/11), & Statue of Liberty. Heading south & slightly west towards the nation’s capital, Philadelphia, PA’s main meridian includes Independence Hall, LOVE Park, US Mint, & Museum of Art – all in alignment with the Liberty Bell [@75.1503° W]. Then, further South-West/ S-W, runs the main meridian of the US Capital through the White House [@77.0365° W], Washington Tkhn replica, US Pentagon, Capitol, Supreme Court, Voice Of America… on down to Jones Point Lighthouse in Alexandria, VA [@77.0413° W] – site of Washington DC‘s South stone boundary marker laid by Benjamin Banneker. Considering the coastline’s westward trend from NY-DC, all the above share a longitudinal meridian [@≅74°-77° W] with “Cleopatra’s Needle” NYC…

Like sentient Earth, the human brain has Hemispheres. Like Humans, Earth is said to have Chakras. According to Yoga traditions, Chakras rule or regulate our Meridians – which are channels of energy flow. Any Chakra imbalance will have adverse health effects on the whole. Scholars such as Mkhulu Nsingiza* teach that Africa as Mother Tree houses humanity’s natal Chakra system, the Root Chakra being at the Durban Bluff in KwaZulu-Natal [@31.0034° East of Greenwitch]. Traveling northward “from Cape to Cairo” along Earth’s Organic Prime Meridian, one passes thru places such as the remains of Great Zimbabwe [@30.9338° E]… & then the Great Lakes region where, at this natural Ground Zero crossroads with the Equator [@0°-latitude], Mama Earth’s womb remains scarred by imposed family brandings of Europe’s GrandMother – colonial pillager of Africa’s Sovereignty, Meridian, & breaking waters which flow West (Congo River Basin) & North (Nile)…

Following the sanctified natural flow of Earth’s Maziwa Mkuu [Swahili for “Great Milk”/Milky Way] from Her Southernmost Equatorial Source while passing temples on Her East [Sunrise] bank… & necropoli on the West [Sunset], one eventually arrives at the Northern reaches of Humanity’s sacred & organic Prime Meridian – Throat Chakra & Lion’s Gate Portal of the Great Pyramid of Giza [@31.1342° E]… also seat of the Great Sphinx [@31.1376° E]. North-East of here where the “needles” once stood [@31.3439° E] is the site of the 69ft, 240-ton, red granite monotheistic Tkhn of the Temple of Ra–Atum [solar deity] erected by Senusret I of Dynasty XII – the only major remnant that still stands in its original/Heliopolis position [@30.129333°N, 31.307528°E]… (P.S.: The Greek word/name CleoPatra means “Glory of the Father”)… “Art thou not aware that Khmt is the image of heaven, or rather, that it is the projection below of the order of things above? Truth be told, this land is indeed The Temple Of The World. [Djehuti] ❤ ❤ ❤ Blessed Be...🕊️🕊️🕊️
