Located in Aswan's ancient stone quarries, the Unfinished Obelisk is the largest known ancient obelisk. It was believed to have been authorized by the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, although doubts have been raised by modern engineers regarding the Dynastic Egyptians' technical capabilities to complete such a monumental task.
