Unfinished Obelisk in Ancient Quarry


This area near Aswan provided much of the stone for the Egyptian temples and tombs, being carried up the Nile to its destination. This obelisk is cracked and was therefore abandoned in the exact site where it was being carved.

This Muslim cemetary was seen below from the top of the quarry.
Another view of the obelisk.
