Information about Unfinished Obelisk

The largest Egyptian obelisk known as the "incomplete obelisk", which can be found today exactly where it has been since antiquity, is half carved from solid rock. This stone block was intended to be an obelisk 120 feet / 36 meters tall. It is estimated that a granite block of this size easily weighs more than 1000 tons, and some geologists have suggested a figure of 1100 tons - 1150 tons. The most important thing that puzzles scientists is how the ancient Egyptians moved these very heavy stones from one place to another. Do not hesitate and visit it with your family and friends and enjoy learning about one of the most important ancient Egyptian monuments!
