Unfinished Obelisk

Ordered by Queen Hatsupsut it was to have been the largest ever made if one single piece of stone. It would have weighed 1,000 tons. The first cracked and was abandoned. The second was started yet cracked as well and was left in place. We spent additional time wandering around the ancient quarry.
