The Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan | L’Obelisco Incompiuto di Assuan
Deep in the granite quarries of Aswan, Egypt, lies one of the most extraordinary secrets of the ancient world the Unfinished Obelisk.
Carved directly into the bedrock over 3,500 years ago during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, this colossal monument was abandoned when a crack appeared in the stone.
Had it been completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever created — standing 42 meters tall and weighing over 1,200 tons.
Today, it remains exactly where the ancient craftsmen left it, offering us an incredible window into how the Egyptians built their monumental architecture.
