It is located in the northern part of a quarry there, located near Aswan on the eastern shore of the Nile, about 1 km east of the Nile. The height of the obelisk would reach about 7 and 41 meters, and the side of its section at its base would be 2 and 4 meters by 2 and 4 meters, and its weight upon completion would be about 1168 tons. The exact time of excavation for this obelisk is not known. It is believed that work began on it during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, with the purpose of placing it as a "transfer" and erecting it in the Karnak Temple in Luxor. And after the ancient Egyptian workers dug the obelisk on three sides, in preparation for removing it from the pier and completing its preparation, they discovered a crack in it that would make it unsuitable. Workers stopped completing it.
