  Cleopatra’s Needle
  Игла Клеопатры
  Anyone visiting London for the first time and walking along the Thames may be surprised to come across an original Egyptian obelisk.
  This obelisk is known as Cleopatra's Needle …though it has very little to do with Cleopatra at all.
  It is known as Cleopatra's Needle as it was brought to London from Alexandria, the royal city of Cleopatra.
  Cleopatra's Needle stands on the Thames. Two large bronze Sphinxes lie on either side of the Needle. These are Victorian versions of the traditional Egyptian original.
