Cleopatra's Needle does serve a function as a monument. It is an ancient Egyptian obelisk of red granite, about 21m high, and inscribed with hieroglyphics. The obelisk actually has no connection with Cleopatra, but was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III. Rameses II added further inscriptions commemorating his military victories some 200 years later. There are in fact two Cleopatra's needles; one in London, the other in New York.
