"After decades of laying beside the sacred lake at Luxor’s Karnak Temple, a
team of Egyptian restorers and archaeologists succeeded in re-erecting the
restored Hatshepsut’s obelisk on Saturday.

The obelisk was carved from granite and originally erected at Karnak Temple,
but a destructive earthquake in antiquity caused it to collapse on top of the
debris accumulated on the Udjat hall built by Queen Hatshepsut’s father, King
Thurmose I."
