Mensagem de Kristoffer Føns

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.
