Cleopatra Needle facts
While investigating facts about Cleopatra Needle, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Cleopatra's Needle was moved from Egypt to America by a modified steamship with a hole cut into the hull and the obelisk sticking out.
A time capsule was buried under Cleopatra's Needle in London in 1878. It contains 12 pictures of the best-looking women of the day, a box of cigars and a copy of John 3:16 in 215 languages
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Cleopatra Needle I managed to collect.
-
Cleopatras's Needle, an authentic Egyptian Obelisk that was re-erected in New York City.
