Detail InformationEdit

The Luxor Obelisk (French: Obélisque de Louxor) is an Egyptian obelisk standing at the Center of the Place De La Concorde in Paris, France. It was originally located at the entrance to Luxor Temple, in Egypt.
The obelisk, a red granite column, rises 23 metres (75 ft) high, including the base, and weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons). It is decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II. Given the technical limitations of the day, transporting it was no easy feat: complex machinery were used for transportation. The obelisk is flanked on both sides by fountains constructed at the time of its erection on the Place. Missing its original pyramidion (believed stolen in the 6th century BC), the government of France added a gold-leafed pyramid cap to the top of the obelisk in 1998.
