EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Obelisk at Alexandria, one of two ancient obelisks that were removed from Egypt and shipped to London and New York in the 19th century. Originally erected in Alexandria, these towering monuments are adorned with intricate hieroglyphics that tell stories of Egypt's rich history.
The process of removing and transporting these obelisks was no small feat, as they were carefully dismantled and loaded onto dhows for their journey across the seas. Despite being erroneously monikered as Cleopatra's Needles, these obelisks have stood the test of time and continue to be symbols of ancient Egyptian archaeology.
In this photograph, we see the Obelisk at Alexandria standing tall against a backdrop of a bustling harbor. The early morning light casts a golden glow on its weathered surface, highlighting the intricate carvings that have fascinated historians and archaeologists for centuries.
As we gaze upon this historical treasure captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to an era when ancient civilizations thrived along the banks of the Nile. The presence of this obelisk serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
