Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan Overview

A would-be granite structure, the Unfinished Obelisk was left incomplete thousands of years ago in Aswan's quarries. When finished, it would be the largest known obelisk, at over 41 meters tall. It is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in Egypt owing to the insights it gives us into archaeology, particularly the stone mastery craft of ancient Egypt.

The Aswan pink granite, from which it was partially carved, was prized for its durability by the Egyptians.
