Obelisk Hieroglyphics Place De La Concorde Obelisk Of Luxor Pictures, Images and Stock Photos

Point detail of the Obelisk of Luxor in Place de la Concorde. The Place de la Concorde (French: 'Concord Square') is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. The centrepiece of the place is an ancient Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramesses II. It is one of two which the Egyptian government gave to the French in the 19th century. The other one stayed in Egypt, too difficult and heavy to move to France with the technology at that time. On September 26, 1981, President François Mitterrand formally returned the title of the second obelisk to Egypt. The obelisk once marked the entrance to the Luxor Temple.
