How-To: Ship An Obelisk
In the 19th century, three ancient Egyptian granite obelisksโeach weighing north of 200 tonsโwere shipped from Egypt to London, Paris, and New York. Postcolonial-era questions about whether ancient Egyptian obelisks shouldnโt perhaps be left in Egypt aside, how it was done is quite an interesting story. This, BTW, is just the first of what I expect will be many gems from my newly-discovered treasure trove, No Tech Magazine, a sister publication to Kris de Keckerโs Low Tech Magazine, which we rave about here all the time.
