Luxor Obelisk Review

The obelisk is generally carved from a whole block of granite, weighing hundreds of tons, and it is engraved with hieroglyphic obelisk on all sides, indicating that the three different purposes of this stone: religious (commonly used to dedicate the sun god Amon), memorial (commonly used to commemorate the Pharaoh's reign for several years) and decorative. The obelisk is also a powerful symbol of the authority of the Egyptian Empire. From the Middle Kingdom (about 2133 BC to 1786 BC), pharaohs erected cube obelisks in the years of amnesty or victory, often in pairs on both sides in front of the temple towers. Although it is known that there was an obelisk in the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt, there were no relics at that time, only the monument was not more than 3 meters, and it was not beautiful. The oldest and complete obelisk in existence belongs to the 12th Dynasty of ancient Egypt (1991-1786 BC) Pharaoh Sinuselte I (1971-1928 BC) when he was in power, erected in front of the site of the former temple of Heliopolis in the northeastern suburbs of Cairo. The obelisk is20.7 meters high and weighs 121 tons. It was built by Sinuselte I to celebrate the crown of the king. The excavation and erection of the cube obelisk is a difficult project. It is recorded that the excavation of this single stone material in the stone ore, from Aswan to Bis, took seven months. In Aswan's Mausoleum, Queen Hetsi Parksu is depicted carrying the obelisk by barge from the Nile River. When it arrives, people lift the obelisk up a mounded slope and then erect it on the base. Due to the looting of modern artifacts, the home of the obelisk today - Egypt only has five obelisks left, and the rest are scattered around the world.
