Temple of Re-Atum Obelisk – Egypt

The Temple of Re-Atum Obelisk, generally referred to as the Heliopolis obelisk for convenience, is located in Al-Mataririyyah, in Egypt, Cairo, standing in its original position. Erected by Senuret I of the Twelfth dynasty, it is one of the most amazing obelisks in the world, since it is the only surviving remnant of Heliopolis, one of the oldest cities of Egypt, lying at the edge of Cairo, in complete ruins.
