THE OBELISKS THAT EVOLUTIONISTS

CANNOT EXPLAIN

Obelisks are one of the astonishing remains to have survived to our day from past civilizations. Some
highly advanced technology must have been used to extract these upright stones, averaging 20 meters
(65 feet) in length and weighing many tons, from the quarries, transport them, carve their surfaces and

place them in upright positions. One of the oldest known of these large obelisks is that erected in
Karnak, Egypt around 1,400 BCE. It stands 29.5 meters (97 feet) high, 1.62 meters (5.3 feet) wide and
weighs 325 tons. Technical expertise and proper infrastructure are required to transport such a huge,
heavy block from the quarry to its present location in a single piece. Tools of bronze and copper bend
easily, and could not be used, so tools of iron and steel were obviously needed. This refutes the evolu-
tionist claim that iron and similar metals were unknown at the time in question.

The section assumed to have been on the top of
the obelisk (as shown in red circle) may indicate
that these standing stones were used as lightning
rods.

An unfinished obelisk in a granite quarry near Aswan. This
obelisk, twice the height of the others, is 41.75 meters (137
feet) tall and some 1,168 tons in weight. Advanced technology
must have been used to extract this giant stone from the quarry
and transport it to its destination.
