ππ This is the Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan, Egypt stands 137 feet (42m) tall and weighs 1200 tons lies in the ancient quarries near #Aswan, #Egypt. This gigantic piece of rock was intended to be erected as an #obelisk, but for some reason it was left unfinished.

ππ The β¬οΈWhite box shows a crack on the obelisk, π΅Blue shows the quarrying process around the obelisk, & the π₯Red/Pink indicates a sculpting technique before the prime finish. I theorize this #obelisk may have been a failed attempt by a #civilization thereafter. #Archaeology
ππ The π΅Blue box shows the same technique pattern used to sand down & sculpt the #obelisk, while the βͺοΈWhite box highlights a slightly different technique than the blue, you just have to close closely. The βͺοΈarrow indicates the difference in finished from the near by surface.

ππ Notice the indications of multiple construction types & #civilizations can be found here at #Elephantinelsland. There is also strange evidence of # Mayan people visiting here as seen in the headdress of reeds, not typical to #Egyptian glyphs or styles. #Archaeology #Egypt
ππ Part 2: Without a doubt this is some of the most incredible granite works in the #ancient #megalithic world. This location at #aswan also has a 1,200 ton unfinished #obelisk, still attached to the granite bedrock.
