- Unfinished Obelisk - Obelisks are remarkable monuments and exemplars of ancient Egyptian engineering. They are scattered throughout Egypt and typically appear in towering pairs at the entrances of temples. Known in the ancient Egyptian language as tekhen, these structures are crafted from a single stone piece with a rectangular shaft, crowned by a gilded pyramidion to reflect the sun’s rays. Obelisks are linked to solar mythology, symbolizing the benben, or the first land to emerge at the dawn of time, from which the sun-god stood to create the universe. Egyptian kings often commissioned obelisks, inscribing their names and religious dedications on the four sides of the obelisk’s shaft.
- Aswan High Dam - The Aswan Dam, also known as the Aswan High Dam, ranks among the world’s largest embankment dams, constructed across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970. Upon completion, it became the tallest earthen dam globally, surpassing the Chatuge Dam in the United States.[2] The dam, which formed the Lake Nasser reservoir, was built 7 km (4.3 mi) upstream of the Aswan Low Dam, which had reached its maximum capacity since its completion in 1902. Building the High Dam was a primary goal of the military regime that assumed power after the 1952 Egyptian Revolution. With its enhanced ability to control flooding, provide increased water storage for irrigation, and generate hydroelectricity, the dam was considered crucial to Egypt’s planned industrialization. Like its predecessor, the High Dam has significantly impacted Egypt’s economy and culture.
