Description

The Unfinished Obelisk is a fascinating monument of ancient Egypt that stands as a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of Egyptian stonemasons. This massive monument, carved directly into the granite rock, was supposed to be the largest obelisk in history, but due to a crack in the stone it was never completed.

As a result, today we can admire the process of creating these monumental structures and the techniques used by the ancient craftsmen. This is a unique opportunity to see the 'work in progress' of thousands of years ago and understand the scale of ambition of the builders of ancient Egypt.
