It was a gift from the Egyptian Khedive to USA to secure and strengthen their diplomatic relationship. This 21-meter tall, 224-ton granite structure has a sibling in London. The pair was made around 1450 BC, on the orders of Thutmose III of Egypt. Today Cleopatra’s needle is the oldest man-made structure in Central Park. It stands tall on the east side of Central Park, near 5th Ave, between 81st and 82nd St – right next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
