    It’s crazy how ancient this artefact is. It’s an Egyptian column from 3500 years ago that was transported to Istanbul around 1700 years by Roman emperors.

    It’s also 20 min by public transport from my house.

      I was visiting London a little bit ago and wandering down the Thames first night I was there. I just look up and there is an Ancient Egyptian obelisk. A nice little sign about how they were “gifted” it. Was totally unexpected
