Cleopatra's Needles
- a pair of granite obelisks erected at Heliopolis by Tuthmosis III c.1475 BC. They were taken from Egypt in 1878, one being set up on the Thames Embankment in London and the other in Central Park, New York. They have no known historical connection with Cleopatra.古埃及的方尖碑(对碑, 约于公元前1475年由图特摩斯三世竖于赫利奥波利斯, 1878年从埃及被掠走, 其中之一竖于伦敦泰晤士河堤, 另一座竖于纽约中央公园; 可知史料上并未记载其与克娄巴特拉有关)。
