Obelisk theories spark debate on Pharaoh and Moses
Dr. David P. Holton presents Gustavus Seyffarth’s view that the New York obelisk dates to 1866 B C and depicts the man who died in the day of the Red Sea linking it to the Exodus. The claim envisions the obelisk as proof the Old Testament is historical. A separate railroad dispatch recounts a snowbound trip with a funeral train delayed in Woodbury after a Philadelphia cortege arrival.
