    It is amazing, how many African Americans do not know that this is one, of the actual obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut. The true name of the obelisk is a Tekhen the word was changed to Obelisk by the Greeks who had problems pronouncing the African writings and language at that time. This is truly an ancient wonder in our midst's and should be visited by all.
