ETHIOPIA-ITALY-OBELISK
People gather to see the restoration of the 1,700-year-old Axum obelisk on June 5, 2008 in Axum, Ethiopia. Ethiopia on June 4, 2008 began work to relocate the famed Axum obelisk at its original site, seven decades after the 1,700-year-old treasure was removed by Italian troops, a UN expert said. The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has overseen a multi-million-dollar operation to restore the obelisk in Axum in northern Ethiopia, where it once stood alongside around 100 other stelae. The obelisk along with the Axum and Lalibela crosses figure among Ethiopia's top national treasures and symbols. AFP PHOTO / JOSE CENDON
