1. Title: Cleopatra's Needle: A Historical Monument's Journey from Ancient Egypt to Alexandria and England 2. Description: This photograph showcases Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, standing proudly against the backdrop of Alexandria's coastline. Originally erected by Pharaoh Thothmes II around 1500 BC, this historical monument was once a part of the grandeur of Thebes. The obelisk, with its intricate carvings and hieroglyphics, was later moved to Alexandria, becoming a symbol of Cleopatra's city. The needle lay neglected for centuries until it was discovered and presented to England by Mehemet Ali Pasha in November 1819. The monument, which was illegally imported into England in 1875, was meticulously reassembled at Victoria Embankment in London. The obelisk's rich history dates back to the Old Kingdom period, making it a significant piece of ancient Egyptian culture. Its journey from Thebes to Alexandria and eventually to England is a testament to the monument's enduring legacy. The photograph captures the essence of this historical artifact, transporting us back in time to the grandeur of ancient Egypt and the intrigue of its storied past. 3.
