Questions and answers

Ancient Plateau Questions and Answers

Why were ancient obelisks shaped with a pointed pyramid on top?
The pointed apex was frequently capped with reflective metals to symbolize sunbeams reaching down to the earth from the sky above.
What challenges did ancient builders face when moving an obelisk?
Because obelisks were carved from a single massive rock, workers had to drag them across sand on wooden sledges using teams of hundreds of people.
