Constructing an Obelisk: How the True Rocks of Eternity were Made

 

Since Classical antiquity, the West has had a fascination with ancient Egypt. Even Roman tourists would regularly visit Egypt in droves and all but one of the Egyptian obelisks were removed at some point to be taken to Rome, Constantinople, and later Britain, the United States and other locations throughout the Western World. Despite our fascination with these monuments, it is still rather mysterious as to how they were built and erected. Although some evidence has been found that illuminates the process most likely used in carving the obelisks, how they were erected remains just as elusive as it has ever been.
