Paris (France) Travel - Luxor Obelisk
Take a tour of Luxor Obelisk in Paris, France - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
One of the most famous Egyptian landmarks is not in Egypt at all, it rests in a major city square of Paris, France.
This is the Obelisk of Luxor, transported thousands of miles to this city from the Luxor Temple in what was once known as Thebes.
Covering the sides of the obelisk are Egyptian hieroglyphics, while the pedestal depicts how it was brought to Paris.
The Obelisk, along with its twin, was given to the King of France in 1829 by the self-proclaimed Khedive of Egypt.
It now stands on the site once occupied by the guillotine during the bloody French Revolution, while its twin remains in Egypt.
At 75 feet tall, the Luxor Obelisk dominates the square in which it resides and is one of Paris's foremost landmarks.

The Luxor Obelisk is a 23 metres high Ancient Egyptian obelisk standing at the centre of the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. It was originally located at the entrance to Luxor Temple, in Egypt. The Luxor Obelisk was classified as a historical monument in 1936. This site was the location of the metro station, Concorde.
The Luxor Obelisk is over 3,000 years old and was originally situated outside of Luxor Temple, where its twin remains to this day. It first arrived in Paris on 21 December 1833, having been shipped from Luxor via Alexandria and Cherbourg,[1] and three years later, on 25 October 1836, was moved to the centre of Place de la Concorde by King Louis-Phillipe. It was given to France by Muhammad Ali Pasha, Ruler of Ottoman Egypt.
In August 1832, the French paddle ship Sphinx sailed to Alexandria to rendezvous there with the barge Louqsor, which was to load the Luxor Obelisk and bring it to Paris. Sphinx then towed Louqsor back to France. The ships departed on 1 April 1833 and reached Toulon on 10 May. The ships arrived at Cherbourg on 12 August 1833.
The obelisk, a yellow granite column, rises 23 metres (75 ft) high, including the base, and weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons). It is decorated with hieroglyphs exalting the reign of the king Ramses II.
Given the technical limitations of the day, transporting it was no easy feat: The French government ordered a purpose built seagoing lighter built by the Toulon naval yard; this 49 metres long, flat bottomed, three masted ship named the Louqsor was sailed up the Nile to Luxor where 300 workmen dug a canal to allow the ship to come close to the obelisk. The team of French seamen carefully lowered the obelisk with a complicated array of blocks and tackles, yardarms and capstans. The re-erection of the obelisk on the Place de la Concorde during a ceremony carefully planned by king Louis Philippe was no mean engineering feat either.

The Obelisk of Luxor in Paris
While visiting Paris, I saw the Obelisk of Luxor (in the center of the Place de la Concorde). I'd never heard of it before. The only Luxor I'd heard of was in Vegas. :) Around the Obelisk are La Madeleine (the Church of the Madeleine) and the Hotel de Crillon. And you can see the Eiffle Tower in the distance.

Obelisks of Paris, London & New York - Moved with Ancient Lifting Technology
Physics- Once you understand it then the world is yours.
While you don't understand it simple machines appear as if magic.
The impossible to lift delusion needs to die a natural death.
Truth is important but that runs both ways, the truth seekers need to stop telling fibs even if it threatens their ill gotten income.

l'histoire de l'obelisque de la place de la Concorde
C'est Méhémet Ali, vice-roi d'Égypte, en signe de bonne entente qui, à l'instigation du baron Taylor puis de Jean-François Champollion, offre à Charles X et a la France au début de 1830 les deux obélisques érigés devant le temple de Louxor, mais seul celui de droite (en regardant le temple) est abattu et transporté vers la France.
En échange des obélisques, Louis-Philippe Ier offre en 1845 une horloge en cuivre qui orne aujourd'hui la citadelle du Caire, mais qui, pour l'anecdote, ne fonctionna jamais, du moins aux dires des Cairotes, ayant été probablement endommagée lors de la livraison. Le deuxième obélisque a été officiellement rendu à l'Égypte par le Président François Mitterrand, lors de son premier septennat.
