It's an engineering freak!
Is it known whether it's ever had to be straightened or re-erected?
If it's as it was, it's in line for some sort of record. There are bigger and taller obelisks, but are there any with such an extreme ratio between height and width? It would only need to shift an inch or two to become unstable.
All those years of winter storms...
