Cleopatra's Needle in London is an ancient Egyptian obelisk that was moved from Alexandria to the UK in the 19th century. Originally erected in Heliopolis around 1450 BC, it was a gift from Egypt to the United Kingdom in 1819. After a perilous journey by sea, the obelisk was finally erected on the Victoria Embankment in Westminster in 1878. Flanked by two sphinxes and adorned with hieroglyphics, this historical monument stands as a reminder of ancient Egyptian culture in the heart of London.
