    Instead of demolishing, can we give the obelisk in Central Park back to Egypt?

    As long as it stands in NYC, it's a monument to imperialism.

      But if you can only do one, wouldn't something more meaningful be chosen?

        The way the American cultural project has turned this 3500 year old cultural artifact into a formless pitted stone 99% of locals are unaware of in just a century is plenty meaningful.

          Didn't the UK steal a lot more Egyptian artifacts than the US, hell weren't the French the ones to start it?
