Thanks Beekay12 for this well put together film about Cleopatra's Needle.
I am particularly interested in the obelisk as my Great Grandfather was aboard The Olga, the ship that towed it from Egypt, until it was cut lose during a very violent storm. He lost some good friends when they tried to retrieve the Cleopatra.
