Alright Veeky Forums tell me,
why the fuck are there so many obelisks everywhere in the world. Like for fucks sake in nearly every land there is at least one obelisk
Is this because of muh art? Because of muh romanians or because of muh illuminati bullshit?

that's because the Greeks and Romans were bigger Egyptaboos than most people like to think
