Standing around 20.5 meters (67 feet) tall, the original obelisk that this faithful model is emulating is the only substantial monument that has remained standing from the great ancient city of Heliopolis. This was the cult center of the sun god, one of the most ancient and revered of all places in ancient Egypt. Erected by the great 12th-Dynasty king Senwosret I (c. 1956–1911 BC), in the Middle Kingdom, this was the oldest obelisk of such colossal size.
