Description
This is the twin of the obelisk in Luxor, Egypt. At 75 feet tall, 250 tons and over 3000 years old, it is decorated with hieroglyphs exalting the reign of the king Ramses II. It was given to France where it is the centerpiece of the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Notice the erosion from its new humid climate compared to the one in Egypt.
