According to a 28 December The Times article, a huge circular symbol with an 'R' in it appeared on the Great Pyramid of Giza overnight in 1967. While the Egyptian government blamed the Israelis, this act of vandalism was actually caused by Jean-Pierre Rex using his Om-Tsor powers. (PROSE: Revolution Man)
