Obelisk in Central Park drhawass.com - Zahi Hawass
I can't find when this was written--probably some time back, before Dr. H had a few other things on his mind. But it reminds us to look closer to home for antiquities that may need conservation: the Central Park obelisk ("Cleopatra's Needle") is indeed, as you can see from the pictures here, in terrible shape. Pollution, weather, etc., all conspire to eat away at it.
