Waynman Dixon

The three objects found in the Great Pyramid of Giza, the so-called "Dixon Relics", are tools: a small dolerite ball, a copper hook (both now in the British Museum in London), and a fragment of cedar wood in the Marischal Museum, Aberdeen.

[8] One brother, John Dixon (1835–1891), designed the cylinder that transported Cleopatra's Needle from Egypt to London, and Waynman himself was tasked with building it around the obelisk.

[5][6] The other brother, Sir Raylton Dixon, was also an engineer and shipbuilder, and served as Mayor of Middlesbrough.

[9] In 1896, Dixon was appointed a Knight of Grace of the Venerable Order of St John (KStJ).

[11] In 1922, he was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure (Third Class) by the Emperor of Japan.
