The Obelisk (Dikilitas) Without a doubt, the Obelisk (Dikilitas) located in Sultanahmet Square, is the most interesting of the stone pillars that still remain from the Roman and Byzantine eras. The obelisk was originally erected by the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmosis the 3rd in 1450 BC, and stood in Ancient Egypt for hundreds of years. The son of Constantine the 1st was the main reason the Obelisk came to Istanbul. Epigraphs in Latin and Greek adorn two sides of the pedestal, while its other two sides display scenes of the horse races that took place in the Hippodrome. Hieroglyphics depicting the ancient Egyptian god Amen-Ra and Thutmosis can be seen on all four sides of the obelisk itself.

De säger att den här obelisken kommer från Luxor. Fejk! Nytillverkad och står uppe på grekiska Hippodromen.
