The God of Obelisk (the Duel Monster) is most likely a far more ferocious-looking version of Geb (the Egyptian god of Earth, soil, and stone), or he is one of the even more ancient gods of Egypt (likely from before the demonetization of Seth/Set). The shape of an Obelisk is in the likeness of a singular ray of sunlight piercing the clouds whilst hitting the Earth at a 90-degree angle. Obelisks are a special type of religious monument from Ancient Egypt.The term stele (plural: stelae) is generally used for other monumental standings of inscribed, sculpted stones not of classic obelisk form. Ancient obelisks were made of a single piece of stone (a monolith). In Egyptian culture, an obelisk (Greek: ὀβελίσκος, diminutive of ὀβελός, "needle") is a tall, narrow, four-sided, tapering monument which ends in a pyramidal top.
