The sheer view of the structure of the Obelisk inside the Karnak temple

The Obelisk inside the Karnak temple is real spectacular, given that it seems to rise among the ruins all around it. I have no idea whether the Obelisk was there from the beginning, or was restored and then placed later, but it looks great in this view, rising from the middle of the structures. The Obelisk is a symbol of ancient Egypt, being placed at the entrances of temple by the pharaohs of the day.
