    Cleopatra's Needle in New York City is one of three Egyptian obelisks of the same name. The stele from the 15th century BC. It was installed on February 22, 1881 in Central Park west of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.

    In my opinion, it only belongs here to a limited extent, but on the other hand, a 3500-year-old obelisk is a great contrast to the fast-paced USA.

    Cleopatra's Needles consist of a pair of ancient Egyptian obelisks, with one situated here and the other in London; these obelisks, stone pillars, originated in Heliopolis, Egypt around 1425 BCE and are thought to symbolize a link between the Earth and the heavens.
