Cleopatra's Needle refers to a series of ancient Egyptian obelisks, one of which is located in New York City. These obelisks were carved from a single piece of red granite, typically quarried in Aswan, Egypt. Skilled artisans used copper tools to chisel the hieroglyphics and shape the obelisk, which was then transported to its destination, often involving complex engineering to move such massive structures. The obelisks were erected to commemorate pharaohs and reflect the power and grandeur of ancient Egypt.
