Cleopatras needle
They died
Yes, it is an obelisk, but it has nothig to do with Cleopatra. "Cleopatra's Needle" is just an exotic name for an ancient Egyptian artifact.
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.
She didn't have anything built as far as most archaeologist and egyptologist know. But the Cleopatras needle was built in honor of her after her death.
Cleopatras needle was made in ancient Egypt somewhere areound 1000 BC but it is not known by who. Cleopatra lives about 1000 years after it was made, so while it has been given her name she was not the one who had it made.
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.
The Cleopatras was created in 1983.
The ground shakes moving a needle which is then used to see how strong it was based on how much the needle moved.
The London "Cleopatra's Needle" is a pair with the one in New York. They are both from the same site. The one in Paris is a pair with the one that remains in Egypt and is from a different site.
No, not yet, but they are actively searching for it at present.
