The inscriptions on the Opa Oranmiyan in Ilé-Ife bear middle-eastern letters that spell the name of the man for whom it was erected - Oranmiyan.

I'm going to check out your blog as well. I'm grateful for providing me with this information about the architect. You're right, Washington DC has a very good layout. They said it was designed after Paris. Thank you Don for stopping by. I’m going to check out your blog as well.

This is a great post. I believe that the architect whom you friend mentioned was Pierre L'enfant, after whom L'enfant Plaza takes its name. Washington has a very logical layout aside but the diagonal avenues and roundabouts create a lot of traffic snarls for motor traffic. I just came across your wonderful blog here.

Like <i> they</i> don't have anything better to do than run after bloggers with a sense of humour. YOU go do the research and come back to tell me who designed those two obelisks. That's why we hungered and suffered to send you to school. Indeed. Like they don’t have anything better to do than run after bloggers with a sense of humour.

But I get the phallic reference. Maybe there's something in us that likes to poke the sky. Yes, I think you are
