Obelisk shipped from Egypt. Supposedly one solid piece of granite. And supposedly only the top third of the original. Minarets of the Blue Mosque in the background.

Some of us who look at the practical side of things - were awed that this 50ft tall obelisk could be somehow moved from Egypt to Turkey. One hard blow and it would crack. Were boats that long?
