The obelisks industry had developed especially since the 18th Dynasty. The
obelisk was made of one piece of granite stone whose sides were tilted
to its inside as it rose, and ended with a small pyramid covered with
golden plates reflecting the sun when it fell on it. The obelisk was
mounted on a base of the same type of stone of the obelisk.
The
kings of the modern state era took great interest in establishing the
obelisks during the royal jubilee or for the commemoration of certain
events. The names of the king and his titles were usually inscribed on
the obelisk.
