...fall to ruin when at this very moment Egypt is asking France to help save its temples on the Nile." Malraux having spoken, the Obelisk in the center of the Place de la Concorde (supposedly not cleaned since Ramses II had it inscribed in Luxor to the glory of Amon) is sporting a gantry of scaffolding, and the scrubdown has begun...
