At the southern end of Aswan is one of the granite quarries that supplied stone for temples and colossi in ancient times. Here lies a gigantic unfinished obelisk, which began to be hewn from the bedrock but was later abandoned after a flaw was detected. Had this obelisk been finished it would have weighed 1168 tons and stood at a height of nearly 42 metres.
