LUXOR OBELISK

2.25

The monumental Place de la Concorde has one of the oldest monuments in Paris: I'm talking about the famous Luxor Obelisk from Egypt that dates back to more than three thousand years ago. It is a marvelous work of art in pink granite that was donated by the Viceroy Mohammed Alì to King Louis Philippe in the mid-1800s. The hieroglyphs you see engraved on it recall the kingdom of Pharaoh Ramses III.
