On these put sixty covered with carvings; those will be thy most intimate counselors and chief leaders, and on the summit place one monolith with its pedestal and the golden image of the sun; that will be thyself. "The Pharaoh Snofru followed that advice. Thus rose the oldest pyramid, the step pyramid, a tangible image of our state; from that pyramid all others had their origin.
All parts of Canaan are alluded to in it, and as Dr. Max Müller has lately pointed out, we find in it for the first time the names of Shechem and Kirjath-Sepher. Similar testimony is borne by a hieroglyphic inscription recently discovered by Dr. Schumacher on the so-called "Stone of Job" in the Haurân. The monolith is adorned with Egyptian sculptures and hieroglyphs.
Nicky, who had grown rather tired of his freak, undertaken to please Jimmy, brought it, to an end with the successful negotiation of the monolith, and, getting down, went to lift Jimmy also from his perch. "Dinner-time," he told him, and let him sit upon his shoulder, big boy as he was, to ride to the gate.
Beneath him, at the base of the monolith, as our learned men call them, the two great bloodhounds were rearing and springing, clambering over each other's backs in their frenzied and futile eagerness to reach the impassive figure perched above them, while they gave vent to their rage and disappointment in the hideous uproar which had suggested such terrible thoughts to our mind.
He was able to make out that they had reached the highest elevation of the moors the cross-roads from where Inspector Dawfield had shown him Flint House in the distance that afternoon.

This tomb, 13½ feet in height, stands in the center of a circular crypt, and is surrounded by twelve colossal statues representing so many victories.
We passed the pillared entrance; went through a long bowered corridor and stopped before a door that seemed to be sliced from a monolith of pale jade high, narrow, set in a wall of opal. Rador stamped twice and the same supernally sweet, silver bell tones of yesterday, I must call it, although in that place of eternal day the term is meaningless bade us enter. The door slipped aside.

Il Duro looked again steadily into my eyes. 'Ho visto troppo, he repeated, and the words seemed engraved on stone. 'I've seen too much. 'But you can marry, I said, 'however much you have seen, if you have seen all the world.
Of this house the length outside is one-and-twenty cubits, the breadth is fourteen cubits, and the height eight. These are the measures of the monolith house outside; but the length inside is eighteen cubits and five-sixths of a cubit, the breadth twelve cubits, and the height five cubits.
