Описание: the ancient quarry of aswan was upper egypt's main source of granite. the quarry was our last stop on the trip from abu simbel (after the high dam and philae). a quarry is, well, a quarry. all there really is to see is this unfinished obelisk. the ancient egyptians carved an obelisk that would have been 42 meters tall when it stood upright. but before they were done, they found a flaw in the stone. so they left it in the qarry, the distinct obelisk shape is still obvious to see.
