Cleopatras Needle NYC

Have you ever gone beyond The Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Needle nestled not so far behind? According to Wikipedia " Cleopatra's Needles are a separated pair of ancient Egyptian obelisks now in London and New York City. The obelisks were originally made in Heliopolis (modern Cairo) during the New Kingdom period, inscribed by the 18th dynasty pharaoh Thutmose III and 19th dynasty pharaoh Ramesses II. They were later moved to the Caesareum of Alexandria, which had been conceived by Ptolemaic Queen Cleopatra VII, for whom the obelisks are named. They stood in Alexandria for almost two millennia until they were re-erected in London and New York City in 1878 and 1881 respectively. Together with Pompey's Pillar, they were described in the 1840s in David Roberts' Egypt and Nubia as "[the] most striking monuments of ancient Alexandria".https://archive.org/details/holylandsyriaidu3to4robe/page/n196/mode/1up?view=theater

I planned a wonderous photo shoot there a year or so ago to the amazement of my spirit, astounded by the whispers of the needle and the glow of the secrets along its sides.

As we see the time it flows some things stays eternal in their glory. The bounty of the times, doesn't ensnare the power of the edifice. #BambisWorld
