* The obelisk of Luxor is an obelisk originally from the temple of Luxor in Egypt, erected since 1836 in the center of the Place de la Concorde in Paris. It was Mehemet Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, who offered to Charles X and France in early 1830 the two obelisks erected in front of the Luxor temple, but only the one on the right (looking at the temple) was shot down and transported to France.The Luxor obelisk was classified as a historical monument in 1936.
