Hey guys

Explanation:

An obelisk (/ˈɒbəlɪsk/; from Ancient Greek: ὀβελίσκος obeliskos;[1][2] diminutive of ὀβελός obelos, "spit, nail, pointed pillar"[3]) is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top. These were originally called tekhenu by their builders, the Ancient Egyptians. The Greeks who saw them used the Greek term 'obeliskos' to describe them, and this word passed into Latin and ultimately English.[4] Ancient obelisks are monolithic; that is, they consist of a single stone. Most modern obelisks are made of several stones; some, like the Washington Monument, are buildings.

Explanation:

The “obelisk” is a stone that is rectangular with a tapered top that forms a pyramid. The obelisk aims to commemorate and honor the gods. In ancient Egypt, obelisk symbolizes benben, which is a primordial o which the gods stood during the creation of the world. Obelisks were raised to honor the accomplishments of the great king and queen and served as small gods.
