Naomi Campbell‘s Isla Playa de Cleopatra

"Apparently Naomi Campbell‘s Russian billionaire boyfriend has commissioned a 25 room, eco-friendly retreat for the supermodel in honor of her 41st birthday. Which is an awesome gift, especially considering it’s going to be built on a private Turkish isle called Isla Playa de Cleopatra, except for the fact that it looks like the architect is going a little overboard with the whole Cleopatra thing.

According to Inhabitat, the glass dome-shaped house was designed by architect Luis de Garrido, and “is completely energy and water self-sufficient and features an amazing indoor landscaped terrace.”

It is also shaped like the eye of ancient Egyptian deity, Horus.

At least “Horus House” has a nice ring to it."

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.
