The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan is a massive stone structure that has been left incomplete for centuries. It is located in a quarry on the eastern bank of the Nile River, and is believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut during the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt.
The obelisk is made of red granite and measures approximately 42 meters in length and weighs an estimated 1,200 tons. It is believed that the obelisk was abandoned during the carving process due to a crack that appeared in the stone, rendering it unusable.
Despite its unfinished state, the obelisk is an impressive sight to behold. Visitors can see the intricate carvings and hieroglyphics that adorn its surface, and can imagine the skill and precision that would have been required to create such a monument.
The Unfinished Obelisk is a popular tourist attraction in Aswan, and visitors can explore the surrounding quarry and learn about the ancient techniques used to quarry and shape the stone. It is a fascinating glimpse into the engineering and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt, and a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable civilization.
