The London obelisk is its true twin as they both utilised the same quarry for red granite. Heliopolis and Alexandria constructed 68-foot-tall, 224-tonne obelisks around 1450 BC.\n\nA custom-made bridge was created across the street from the Met to transport the colossal gift from the Hudson River to the Met.\n\nWhen the Obelisk was in Egypt, the Romans attached 900-pound bronze crabs to its base. The originals of these ancient crustaceans are at the Met's Sackler Wing."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2F1024px-USA-NYC-Central_Park-Cleopatra's_Needle5.jpg?alt=media&token=a30977d9-0452-4cfa-8fba-826d68aa6ffb"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2F1024px-thumbnail.jpg?alt=media&token=9b277990-67b2-4700-bd3c-186d0066d1ed"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2FGezicht_op_het_ontschepen_van_de_Naald_van_Cleopatra_te_New_York_Disembarking_the_obelisk_(titel_op_object)%2C_RP-F-2001-7-1549-15.jpg?alt=media&token=2b33f92f-adbb-40b1-8a3d-844a50abb054"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2FArtotypes_of_the_removal_transport_and_erection_of_Cleopatras_Needle_from_Egypt_to_the_Metropolitan_Museum_in_New_York_in_Egyptian_obelisks_Plate_no_I.jpg?alt=media&token=f09ff2e0-687a-43e5-97fd-3f9f83127550"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2Flossy-page1-1200px-Central_Park%2C_N.Y._(View_of_Cleopatra's_Needle%2C_with_horse_cart_on_pathway.)_(NYPL_b11708077-G91F223_090F).tiff.jpg?alt=media&token=4c66a815-8378-4a65-adcb-ccf9dc724a9c"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2FCleopatra's_Needle%2C_Central_Park%2C_N.Y_(NYPL_b11708077-G91F223_092F).tiff.jpg?alt=media&token=8b211c44-f2fd-44e4-853a-41576b033325"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2F1024px-Gezicht_op_het_draaien_van_de_Naald_van_Cleopatra_te_Central_Park_Turning_the_obelisk_(titel_op_object)%2C_RP-F-2001-7-1549-19.jpg?alt=media&token=97a80b78-3201-40b1-9a63-290ebec4185a"}]},{"address":"Alexander Hamilton Monument","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":40.7813203136985,"longitude":-73.96386469999997},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Alexander Hamilton Monument"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FpyKabgCn5Ni23rnlRghM%2FStop%20audio.mp3?alt=media&token=6b094630-e37a-4487-87a8-cbb2e640142d"},{"type":"text","content":"A 19th-century monument of Alexander Hamilton (1755–1804) is near the Great Lawn in Central Park.
