@ancienteyesodyssey: Standing at the heart of Piazza del Popolo is a monument with more than 3,000 years of history. Carved in ancient Egypt and inscribed under Seti I and Ramesses II, the Flaminian Obelisk was the first Egyptian obelisk brought to Rome by Augustus. Once standing in the Circus Maximus, it was lost for centuries before being raised here in 1589. From the pharaohs of Egypt to the emperors of Rome, its journey spans civilizations. 🎥 If you'd like to learn more about the obelisks of Rome and much more, check out the latest episode of our three-part series, Exploring Ancient Rome: The Eternal City, now on YouTube. 🔗 Link in bio 🎟️ And if you'd like to see ancient sites like this in person Pondering Adventurer and I weill be leading a trip through ancient Greece in May 2027. @Dillon 🔗 Full tour details in the bio #AncientRome #RomanHistory #AncientEgypt #Rome #HistoryTravel
