The monolith, which weighed about 1,170 tons ​ — heavier than any other block of stone quarried by the ancient Egyptians — ​ was then to have been hauled down to the Nile and conveyed to its destination by barge.
Aswâni monoliit, mis kaalus ligikaudu 1170 tonni ja mis oli raskem kui ükski teine muinasegiptlaste raiutud obelisk, pidi seejärel veetama Niiluse äärde ning sealt praamiga oma sihtkohta.
