The oldest monument in Paris, the Obelisk of the Concorde, was gifted to France in 1830 and is a marvel of engineering. This 40-meter, 220-ton monolith was transported from Luxor, Egypt, requiring six years of technical feats. This documentary, enriched with aerial views, 3D animations, and expert testimonies, retraces this human, political, and diplomatic adventure. From Paris to the Nile, relive the incredible odyssey of the obelisk.
