Obelisks were prominent in the architecture of the ancient Egyptians
Placed the obelisks in pairs at the entrance of temples.
The word "obelisk" as used in English today is of Greek rather than Egyptian origin because Herodotus, the Greek traveller, was one of the first classical writers to describe the objects.
A number of ancient Egyptian obelisks are known to have survived, plus the "Unfinished Obelisk" found partly hewn from its quarry at Aswan
These obelisks are now dispersed around the world, and fewer than half of them remain in Egypt

Rome Has the Most Obelisks The Roman Emperors brought a good
number to Rome, the city with the world's record with 13 obelisks (12 in Rome and 1 in the Vatican City) and also to Constantinople.
When the Roman Empire was in decline, one by one the obelisks began to fall, remaining buried until the Renaissance when there began to be interest in them again.

Cleopatra's Needle
London obelisk (aka Cleopatra's Needle): Located on the banks of the River Thames, this obelisk was transported to London and erected in 1878 under the reign of Queen Victoria. The obelisk originally stood in the Egyptian city of On, or Heliopolis (the City of the Sun). The Knights Templars' land extended to this area of the Thames, where the Templars had their own docks. Either side of the obelisk is surrounded by a sphinx, also symbolism dating back to the ancient world

Washington Obelisk (aka Washington Monument): Standing at 555 feet, the Washington Monument is the tallest obelisk in the world and also the tallest standing structure in Washington DC.
The monument's cornerstone, a 12-ton slab of marble, was donated by the Grand Lodge of Freemasons. Like the Vatican obelisk, the Washington monument too is surrounded by a circle denoting the female.
It was designed by Robert Mills, an architect of the 1840s. The actual construction of the monument began in 1848 but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after the architect's death. This hiatus in construction happened a lack of funds, and the intervention of the American Civil War.

Daughter of Tuthmosis I, her name means foremost of noble ladies. She crowned herself pharaoh at the death of her husband, and dressed like a man (along with the traditional fake beard). The 21-year rule of this builder pharaoh Egypt was the most peaceful, said Wael.

BERLIN -- A German university said Friday that researchers have discovered a carcinogenic substance in a flask of lotion believed to have belonged to Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt 3,500 years ago – raising a possibility she may have accidentally poisoned herself.

The University of Bonn said it spent two years researching the dried-out contents of the flask, which is part of its Egyptian Museum's collection and bears an inscription saying it belonged to Hatshepshut.
It said the flask contains what appears to have been a lotion or medicine used to tackle skin disorders such as eczema.
The contents included palm and nutmeg oil, along with fatty acids of the kind that can relieve such disorders. There are known to have been cases of skin diseases in Hatshepsut's family, the university said.
Researchers also found benzopyrene, an aromatic and highly carcinogenic hydrocarbon.
