  • Bronze Sphynx guarding Cleopatra’s Needle, made in Egypt for the Pharaoh Thotmes III in 1460 BC and brought to London from Alexandria the royal city of Cleopatra in 1878 photographed on the empty Embankment during the coronavirus pandemic on the 10th May 2020 in London, United Kingdom. Britain wanted something big and noticeable to commemorate the British victory in Egypt over Napoleon, sixty-three years earlier. At low tide you can step to the platform on the River side and place flower heads on the platform as an offering to the Thames Isis Goddess and wait. The rising water will splash up the steps then gradually over the platform from each side. When the two washes meet in the middle they slap together and form dual ripples which carry the flowers away. This huge granite structure was engineered precisely to do this and hidden in plain sight for those that can see.
