── Note the PDF file/ebook below! ──
• The Replica of the Stélé of Revealing as seen on a photograph published in Book Four, Part II, 1913 E.V.
• Read about the Replica of the Stélé of Revealing commissioned by Aleister Crowley during the Cairo Working.
Research by the author indicates that it probably was the work of the Cairo Museum’s artist and handyman Alexandre Barsanti, and if it not was him then an artist from the Italian sculptor and decorator Giuseppe Parvis’s workshop near the entrance to the Muski where Barsanti had worked before he became employed at the Boulak Museum in 1885 as “Conservateur-Restorateur”. G. Parvis had great expertise in making replicas of artifacts from ancient Egypt. – Read online or download this PDF file/ebook (14 pp.) containing an extract from FOR THE THELEMITES.

• 1900s photograph of the new Cairo Museum at Kasr en-Nil.
• Alexandre Barsanti (1858-1917).
• Midan el-Ataba el-Khadre (the Place of the Green Threshold) near the entrance to the Muski, in the Arabian part of Cairo, south-east of the Ezbekiyeh Gardens. Seen is the sign of “G. Parvis”.
• The funeral stele of Ankh-af-na-khonsu i (died c. 700-675 BCE in the late twenty-fifth Dynasty) exhibited in the Cairo Museum – the museum in which Rose Crowley discovered it in March 1904 E.V.! The front side of the stele is seen to the right on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. Inserted at the bottom of the photo is the old label attached to the stele of Ankh-af-na-khonsu i. In 1904 E.V. the stele was exhibited in the upper floor's 'Room F', and here it is seen in its ‘modern’ location in ‘Room 22’ on the upper floor in the end of the 1990s. The stele's current location is the new ‘The Grand Egyptian Museum’ in Giza.
