The Luxor Obelisk, a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt's grandeur, stands proudly in the heart of Paris at Place de la Concorde. This magnificent monument has witnessed the city's transformation throughout history. In 1877 and 1898, lithographs captured the allure of Place de la Concorde with the Luxor Obelisk as its centerpiece. The intricate details showcased in Tom Artin's creation further emphasize its significance. Dating back to 1836, an engraving depicts the erection of this monumental obelisk. It serves as a reminder of the incredible engineering feat that brought this piece from Egypt to France. Another engraving showcases the Luxor Obelisk amidst Place de la Concorde, highlighting its majestic presence against Paris' skyline. A silver gelatin print from 1900 provides a captivating view of Cleopatra's Needle alongside other Egyptian monuments in Paris. Around 1920, a photograph captures not only the fountains but also emphasizes how this architectural column complements the clear sky and daylight ambiance surrounding it. An iconic image combines multiple landmarks: The Eiffel Tower towering over both the Luxor Obelisk and Strasbourg statue silhouette during sunset creates an awe-inspiring sight for all who visit Place de la Concorde. These ancient Egyptian treasures bring a touch of mystique to modern-day Paris. Standing tall for over three millennia, they serve as a testament to human ingenuity and endurance across cultures and centuries.
