Depends on the size of the obelisk. Whatever the size of the obelisk its going to be the transportation from the quarry to the river, the loading onto the barge, unloading and transporting to the erection site which is going to require the most bodies. A 50 ton obelisk probably requires 6 men per ton 50X6 = 300 men
