The obelisk was first built by the Egyptian pharaoh III. It was built by Thutmose in the 15th century BC and was erected south of the seventh pylon of the temple of Karnak. Roman emperor II. Constantius had the obelisk brought to the city of Alexandria over the Nile in 357 AD in honor of the 20th anniversary of his accession to the throne. Later, in 390 AD, Emperor Theodosius I had the obelisk brought to Istanbul by ship and had it erected in its current location in the Hippodrome.[1] The obelisk was made of red Aswan granite and was originally 30 m high. However, its height today is 18.45 m (24.87 m with its pedestal), since its lower part was destroyed either during transportation or when it was placed in its present location. Its weight is approximately 200 tons. Lady Montagu, owner of THE LETTERS OF THE ORGANIZED, wrote in one of the letters dated 1718: This stone stands on four pillars on a chipped stone foot in the form of a murabba. On both feet of the stone there is a picture of a battle and a parliament as reliefs.

The Obelisk of Theodosius (Turkish: Dikilitaş) is the Ancient Egyptian obelisk of Pharaoh Thutmose III re-erected in the Hippodrome of Constantinople (known today as At Meydanı or Sultanahmet Meydanı, in the modern city of Istanbul, Turkey) by the Roman emperor Theodosius I in the 4th century AD. The Obelisk of Theodosius is of red granite from Aswan and was originally 30m tall, like the Lateran Obelisk. The lower part was damaged in antiquity, probably during its transport or re-erection, and so the obelisk is today only 18.54m (or 19.6m) high, or 25.6m if the base is included. Between the four corners of the obelisk and the pedestal are four bronze cubes, used in its transportation and re-erection. Each of its four faces has a single central column of inscription, celebrating Thutmose III's victory over the Mitanni which took place on the banks of the Euphrates in about 1450 BC. The obelisk is exciting! But if you get hungry, there are plenty of restaurants around the Obelisk.
