The New York Obelisk: Cleopatra's Needle is a historical book written by Charles Edward Moldenke in 1891. The book is about the story of the Obelisk of Thutmose III, also known as Cleopatra's Needle, and its journey from Egypt to New York City. The book provides a detailed account of the history of the obelisk, including its creation in ancient Egypt, its transportation to Alexandria, and its eventual transfer to New York City. The author also discusses the technical challenges involved in transporting such a large and heavy object across the ocean and how it was eventually erected in Central Park. The book is a fascinating account of the journey of one of the most famous ancient Egyptian artifacts and its place in the history of New York City.With A Preliminary Sketch Of The History, Erection, Uses, And Signification Of Obelisks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
