Cleopatra's Needle

Cleopatra's Neddle: Central Park New York, NY USA

Cleopatra's Needle: Paris, France

Cleopatra's Needle: London, United Kingdom

Cleopatra's Needle: Alexandria, Egypt (re-erected in London)

All three obelisks were constructed in ancient Egypt and later re-erected in other locations in the 19th century. The nickname these monuments acquired are actually not very accurate since they were erected over a thousand years before Cleopatra's lifetime.
