Best Answer

Cleopatras needle is the common name for 3 obelisks which stand in London near the River Thames, in New York City and Paris France.

These obelisks were not commisioned by Cleopatra. They were originally built by Thutmosis the 3rd and located in Heliopolis, Egypt.

Cleopatra moved one of the obelisks to Caseaream in honour of Mark Antony and this is why the are called 'Cleopatra's' needle.
