Cleopatra's Needle: A Glimpse into Ancient Egypt's Grand Past (1847) This photograph showcases Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, in its original position at Alexandria, Egypt, in 1847. The obelisk, adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and inscriptions, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The Needle, also known as the Cleopatra's Needle II, is one of three obelisks that were once part of the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria. Each obelisk was believed to have been gifted by the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III to the Greek goddess Isis around 1500 BC. The Needle was discovered in 1819 during Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign, and it was later transported to England in 1878. However, this photograph captures the obelisk in its original location, before it was dismantled and shipped to London, where it now stands in the Victoria Embankment Gardens. The Needle's intricate carvings depict scenes from Egyptian mythology and history, including the god Ra, the goddess Hathor, and the pharaoh Thutmose III. The hieroglyphics on the Needle provide valuable insights into ancient Egyptian culture and religion. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and archaeological significance of Egypt, as well as the importance of preserving and documenting our cultural heritage. The Needle's journey from its original position in Alexandria to its current location in London serves as a reminder of the connections between different civilizations throughout history.
