Unfinished Obelisk

The largest Egyptian obelisk, known as the "Unfinished Obelisk", which can be found today exactly where it once stood, is half carved from solid rock. This stone block was intended to be a obelisk 120 feet / 36 meters tall. It is estimated that a block of granite of this size easily weighs more than 1,000 tons, and some geologists have suggested the figure from 1,100 tons - 1,150 tons. The most important thing that puzzles scientists is how the ancient Egyptians transported these very heavy stones from one place to another. Do not hesitate and visit it with your family and friends and enjoy getting to know one of the most important ancient Egyptian monuments!
