Luxor Temple, Egypt, Ramses the Great Obelisk

Album Info:
...just having been in Paris, you remark a strange resemblance to the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde in Paris: well believe it or not, they were actually a pair, gracing the entrance of the temple of Luxor but in 1831 were seperated so one could be transported to france to be errected in this spectacular location in Paris. I find it a bit sad though...
