Stars: 1
Review by: Mandy Apgar
About 40% of
this is on the Washington Monument. Properly it is a history of obelisks
as monuments themselves and quite a dull ones at that. The parts on
Washington are alright - the inspiration behind
the monument, the insane costs behind fixing it (the repairs for the
last earthquake alone, sheesh) and of course how it was put there to
begin with. Other obelisks include Cleopatra's needle (with parts on how
it was installed and passages time and again on
her death, just in case you missed it the first time), other Egyptian
ones, the obelisk in art and film, etc.
