Arrived at Waterloo Bridge deserves to make a detour to see, on the right bank of the Thames, Cleopatra’s Needle, an obelisk Egyptian red granite, with a height of 13 meters and a weight of 180 tons, but which has no connection Cleopatra. It is the gift that the viceroy of Egypt, Muhammad Ali, made England in 1819. After a rough sea journey, in which six sailors lost their lives, in 1878 the obelisk was placed near the Charing Cross, Victoria Embankment and called Cleopatra’s Needle Londoners, named after the ship that brought her, and this name remained until today. Obelisk is part of a pair of obelisks made around 1500 BC Heliopolis; his twin brother is presently in Central Park, New York). Hieroglyphics on it shows incredible bravery and victory of his Thutmose III and Ramses the Great.
