We then contrast this with ancient ambition at the Unfinished Obelisk, a mesmerizing glimpse into stone-working techniques. This massive obelisk, abandoned due to a crack, shows us the incredible skill and effort behind the monuments we admire.

This day perfectly blends ancient wonder with modern power, setting the stage for our continued journey.
