This obelisk stands 19.5 meters (64 feet) tall
This obelisk was erected by Thutmose I circa 1500 B.C. Some four centuries later Ramses IV added columns of inscriptions to either side of the original central inscriptions. In turn, Ramses VI modified the names so that the cartouches could be read as both Ramses IV and VI
