  The Stele of Revealing
The title “Stele 666” is from the catalogue of the Boulaq Museum in Cairo where the tablet is on display.
The symbols of the stele combine to form a talisman that was believed to grant the Priest the power to transcend death through identification with the transpersonal archetypes of the supreme deities who represented the infinite stars of space and the solar flame at the core of every living being.
The paraphrase of the hieroglyphs of “Stele 666” was prepared in 1904 under the supervision of Egyptologist Brugseh Bey at the Boulaq Museum in Cairo, and it is reprinted in Aleister Crowley, The Holy Books of Thelema (NY: Weiser, 1983).

Thus, the location of Boleskine House is to be the Omphalos or Center of Power for Thelema, and is to continue as such for the duration of the Aeon of Horus, regardless of the physical presence of the Stèle or of the house itself.

As the story is told, Crowley found the Stele of Revealing in the museum while he and his wife, Rose, were visiting Cairo in 1904.
He is portrayed as a man with a hawk head who was said to rule over Thebes at the time Ankh-f-na-khonsu served as a priest for one of the lesser gods, Mentu.

Although he was the world's most advanced mystic his understandings of the 'big picture' were in many ways limited, that is to say there were certain aspects of the Book which were to remain occult or hidden.
But this was how it was intended, for Liber Al clearly states that its message would be revealed over time, and that there were some mysteries contained within that no Beast would divine.

The final proof was Rose’s identification of Horus in the Stele of Revealing, then housed in the Boulak museum, with the exibit number 666.
Also, Rose reveals that her “informant” was not Horus himself, but his messenger, Aiwass.
Finally, on April 7, Rose gives Crowley his instructions—for three days he is to enter the “temple” and write down what he heard between noon and 1:00pm.

 Egyptomania
Perhaps the best example of it concerns Aleister Crowley's bizarre "Stele of Revealing" invention, wherein he took an ordinary Egyptian artifact, coincidentally numbered item 666 in the Cairo Museum, and turned an inept translation of its hieroglyphs into Apocalyptic god names—this is particularly the case with the purely Egyptomaniacal "Hadit".
Latter-day OTO management has sought to cover up this absurdity by inventing yet another myth wherein Egyptian hieroglyphs are again required NOT to function as intended (as ideograms and phonograms of the ancient Egyptian language), but instead are used as an allegorical ornament serving a purely modern religious agenda.
Thoth's book (actually a collection of books) contained not merely all the knowledge that could be known, but also knowledge that couldn't be, or at least that couldn't be acquired by humans without the help of the gods, such as the secrets of men's hearts and the destinies of nations.
