    Obelisks were an important part of the religious life of the ancient Egyptians. They were usually placed in pairs in front of temples. The human and animal symbols of the characters always looked towards the path to the temple, the side faces towards the temple.

      In ancient Egypt, the obelisk, like the pyramid, represented the rays of the sun god turned into stone and was the connection between the local world and the world of the gods. Obelisks usually stood in pairs in front of pyramids or temples.

        It's unbelievable how the master builders created this obelisk in one piece
