The unfinished obelisk is the largest known ancient obelisk and is located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan (Assuan), Egypt. Archaeologists claim the pharaoh known as Hatshepsut sanctioned its construction. It is nearly one third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished it would have measured around 42 m long (approximately 137 feet), 2.5–4.4 m wide and would have weighed nearly 1,200 tons (1,066,621 kilograms).

Perhaps Hatshepsut and Solomon shared the same (ancient by then)technology?
