Luxor Obelisk Review

The Egyptian obelisk is a very spectacular attraction! The Egyptian obelisk is very exquisite, the text engraved on it is clear and tidy, very interesting! Many tourists take pictures, the square is nearby, and the pigeons fly around and have a holiday atmosphere!

In addition to the pyramid, the most distinctive symbol of ancient Egypt is the obelisk (also known as the obelisk). The sun is one of the most important shrines in ancient Egypt. The long shape of the obelisk represents the beam of the sun. The top of the tower is a pyramid shape, and the monument is engraved with hieroglyphs on all sides.

The obelisk in Concorde Square was originally given in front of the temple of Luxor in Egypt, and was presented to France by the Egyptian governor in 1836 as a gift. The obelisk is 23 meters high and weighs 230 tons. The tower is carved from a whole block of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs, pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt. The obelisk took three years to pass through the Nile, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Seine to France, and it took three years to stand it in the center of Concorde Square. Egypt's original more than 50 obelisks, now only a few, have been sent to other countries, Europe distributed dozens.

This is the landmark of Concorde Square, as if the history of the guillotine has been ignored. As a more than 3,000-year-old building, it has become a famous attraction and starting point on the Champs Elysees.

The Egyptian obelisk is the most central and tallest building in Concorde Square, and it is in a straight line with the Champs Elysees, and you can see the golden spire from afar, guiding the direction. Think of a piece of stone that was so thin and long that it was shipped from far away in Egypt, and I wonder how it was done without mechanization
