Cleopatra's Needle was cut from Granite in the quarries of the Aswan, and was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III around 1450 BC. It's inscriptions were added 200 years later by Ramses II, and tell the stories of his triumph's in battle. Later the obelisk was moved to Alexandria and installed in the Caesareum, during the reign of Roman Emperor Augustus 12BC. The obelisk was toppled in 1303 in an earthquake, then in 1869 it was gifted to the U.S.A. by Ismail Pasha, as a token of goodwill for the help the U.S.A. gave to Egypt during the building of the Suez Canal. The moving of the obelisk took a decade to complete and was finally installed in Central Park, New York in 1881. There were also Cleopatra's Needles moved to and re-erected in London and Paris. These were also from Heliopolis.

Who designed Cleopatras needle?
Cleopatra's needles were two obelisks, but they did not have much to do with Cleopatra herself. According to the Egyptian Antiquities Authority, they were created in the quarries at Aswan then displayed in front of the temple at Heliopolis. When the Ptolemies took over Egypt, the obelisks were moved to Alexandria. When Cleopatra built the temple to Julius Caesar, she had them moved and set up in front of his temple. As to who designed them, we simply don't know.
