It even has an obelisk........like ancient Egypt,,,,,,,,,,we have one here as well...........the Wash monument..............oh boy...........



The Vatican Obelisk was originally taken by Caligula from Heliopolis, Egypt to decorate the spina of his circus and is thus its last visible remnant.[31] This area became the site of martyrdom of many Christians after theGreat Fire of Rome in AD 64. Ancient tradition holds that it was in this circus that Saint Peter was crucified upside-down.[32]
