Most likely it would have been subjected to far more weathering; in paticular, a type ofphysical weathering called frost wedging. Cleopatra's needle is carved of granite and when exposed to constant freezing and thawing in severe climates such as most of Siberia experiences granite exhibits this type of weathering. Granite typically has small cracks and fissures or joints which can fill with water. Even though Siberia is relatively dry some water would be available to do this (over long periods of time especially). Water expands when it freezes which causes a wedging effect inside the crack and causes plates of rock to crack off. Over time this would most likely happen to Cleopatra's Needle in Siberia
