Concerning The Aksum Obelisk

Aksum Obelisk Being Dismantled

By Dr. Richard Pankhurst

Dismantling of the Aksum obelisk in Rome, which was looted on the personal orders of the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in 1937, is now actively in progress.

The site for the obelisk's re-erection in Aksum has now also been cleared, and a large hole dug, for the stele's reception.

The return and re-erection of the obelisk is therefore imminent within a few months at most.
