EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Raising Cleopatra's Needle: An Engineering Marvel of the 19th Century" In this historic photograph, taken in December 1878, we witness an extraordinary engineering feat that took place along the Thames Embankment in London. The image captures the complex structure, known as the Decimal Point Decimal, which was meticulously designed to raise the ancient Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle, into its final position. The 180-ton obelisk, imported from Egypt in 1877, had been a source of great intrigue and anticipation for the people of London. The structure, which resembled a giant seesaw, was a marvel of engineering innovation. It consisted of a series of counterweights and pulleys, designed to gradually lift the obelisk from its temporary resting place on the riverbank and maneuver it into its permanent position on the Thames Embankment. The raising process, which began on August 10, 1878, was a meticulous and complex operation. The obelisk was first secured to the structure using massive chains and ropes. The counterweights were then gradually released, allowing the obelisk to be raised inch by inch. The process was slow and painstaking, but the determination and skill of the engineers and laborers involved ensured its success. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the raising process, with the obelisk partially lifted and the intricate machinery in full swing. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when engineering feats of this magnitude were celebrated as triumphs of human ingenuity and perseverance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Thames Embankment and the engineering marvels that have shaped the London landscape. It serves as a reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of human innovation.
