Unfinished Obelisk Facts
“Unfinished obelisk weight”
At this engineering historical site in front of this remarkable giant obelisk, you are in front of events from Hatshepsut (ca. 1473–1458 BC). Yes, these pharoanic tools, lines written by the engineer and all these details take you to the Hatshepsut era. She ordered to build the largest obelisk, weighing 1,168 tons and 42 meters high, that you are standing in front of now.
However, the work was abandoned because of defects in the stone and multiple cracks, which resulted in cracks in the Aswan quarry obelisk. So it wasn't completed.
The tour with Golavita will take you to all these details, living the history from a rare Pharaonic spot.
