Obelisk | Meanings of Ancient Egyptian Symbols, part 09

The obelisk is an architectural feature that originated in the Old Kingdom of Egypt around 2,300 BC
It is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top. Originally they were called tekhenu by their builders, the Ancient Egyptians.
One of the most basic symbolic meanings of the obelisk was as an image of the sun’s rays. Solar worship was a prime religious belief among the ancient Egyptians.
Phallic symbolism was quite common in ancient times and was often depicted in architecture. The obelisk is often considered to be such a phallic symbol, signifying the masculinity of the earth. the obelisk here symbolically represents Geb, the male God, Earth, who sexually contacts with Nut, the female Goddess, the Sky. Hence life goes on.
