CAIRO — Egypt says archaeologists have discovered the upper part of royal obelisk dating back more than 4,000 years.

The Antiquities Ministry said Wednesday the unearthed part of the obelisk is made of pink granite and is about 2.5 meters (yards) high. The entire obelisk is believed to have been at least twice as high.
