Origin of Obelisk at St. Peter's Revealed
Rome intellectuals recall the uncovering of the 75 foot Egyptian obelisk now in St. Peter's Square. Professor Filippo Magi deciphered a hidden past by analyzing tiny holes in a Latin inscription, tracing its origin to Heliopolis and Caius Cornelius Gallus. A daring 1586 lift involved sailors risking punishment to save the ceremony, earning the sailor a Palm Sunday concession for life.
