Weisse was a French-American physician, philologist, and archaeologist with interests in both Freemasonry and ancient Egypt. The focus of his treatise is the connection between Freemasonry and Henry Honeychurch Gorringe's discovery of Masonic emblems and symbols on the obelisk known as Cleopatra's Needle, which, at the time of this writing, was in the hold of the steamship S.S. Dessoug on its way to New York. Gorringe and Giovanni Battista Belzoni, an Italian adventurer and sometime archaeologist, believed that secret societies akin to Freemasonry predated construction of obelisks and pyramids in ancient Egypt, as evidenced by the carvings on Cleopatra's Needle of Masonic tools (square, compass, plummet, and the like) that would have been necessary to construct those architectural wonders. Cleopatra's Needle was created during the reign of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Thutmose III. During the nineteenth century, Egyptomania swept through British and American cities, which scrambled to acquire obelisks to erect in their parks and squares. Cleopatra's Needle (whose creation is not actually connected with the Ptolemaic Queen Cleopatra VII, but legend has it that she brought a similar obelisk, now in London, from Heliopolis to Alexandria to decorate a new temple), was erected (and still stands) in Central Park, in 1881. Gorringe supervised transport of the 200-ton red granite monument from Alexandria to Greywacke Knoll, in Central Park, just across the drive from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. N. B.
