An obelisk is a 4 sided narrow tapering monument that typically ends in a pyramid-like shape at the top. It has been used in various cultures particularly in ancient Egypt and carries several symbolic meanings: Sun Worship: In ancient Egypt, obelisks were often associated with the sun god Ra and were believed to represent a ray of sunlight. Their shape and height were intended to reach towards the heavens, symbolizing a connection between the earth and the divine. Eternal Life: The obelisk's durable stone structure symbolizes permanence and eternity. It was often erected to commemorate significant events, victories, or individuals, serving as a lasting tribute. Power and Authority: Obelisks were also symbols of the power and authority of the pharaohs. They were often placed at the entrances of temples or in public spaces to assert the ruler's strength and divine right. Victory and Commemoration: In later cultures such as the Romans, obelisks were transported from Egypt and recontextualized as symbols of victory and conquest. They often marked important locations or events. Unity and Stability: The vertical shape of the obelisk can also represent stability and unity pointing upwards and creating a sense of balance.
