And we're looking at George Washington's Tomb, he's got two obelisks in front of it because he was a mason, and the teacher is explaining how the obelisk or... well he gave us the egptian word for it was a symbol for Osiris (insert Egyptian name for him here)
And so I flash on the story of Osiris' death and resurrection.
sure enough the when i was talking about it with him he confirmed that like in a lot of cultures those stone represents Osiris' generative force and is essentially a giant stone penis.
This, btw, was based on the obelisks at Washington's tomb.
