Cleopatra's needles were two obelisks, but they did not have much to do with Cleopatra herself. According to the Egyptian Antiquities Authority, they were created in the quarries at Aswan then displayed in front of the temple at Heliopolis. When the Ptolemies took over Egypt, the obelisks were moved to Alexandria. When Cleopatra built the temple to Julius Caesar, she had them moved and set up in front of his temple. As to who designed them, we simply don't know.

Cleopatras needle
They died
Yes, it is an obelisk, but it has nothig to do with Cleopatra. "Cleopatra's Needle" is just an exotic name for an ancient Egyptian artifact.
The obelisk called "Cleopatra's Needle" was quarried at Aswan. It has nothing to do with the queen Cleopatra. It was quarried during the reign of Tutmose III, way, way before Cleopatra's birth.
Cleopatras needle is the common name for 3 obelisks which stand in London near the River Thames, in New York City and Paris France. These obelisks were not commisioned by Cleopatra. They were originally built by Thutmosis the 3rd and located in Heliopolis, Egypt. Cleopatra moved one of the obelisks to Caseaream in honour of Mark Antony and this is why the are called 'Cleopatra's' needle.
There was never any temple built for any of Cleopatra's sons.
Cleopatras needle was made in ancient Egypt somewhere areound 1000 BC but it is not known by who. Cleopatra lives about 1000 years after it was made, so while it has been given her name she was not the one who had it made.
The Cleopatras was created in 1983.
It was built to celebrate the World's Fair.
The London "Cleopatra's Needle" is a pair with the one in New York. They are both from the same site. The one in Paris is a pair with the one that remains in Egypt and is from a different site.
