Cleopatra's Needle and Freemasonic Antiquity
Bell cites W.B. Sibley’s 1913 book regarding the discovery of Masonic emblems in the foundation of Cleopatra's Needle in Alexandria. This obelisk was transported to New York's Central Park in 1880 using a specially constructed vessel. The ritualistic nature of its transport and the presence of these symbols are used as evidence by some scholars that Freemasonry, or its precursor traditions, existed at least a century before Christ.
