Based mostly on T3 Info - correct as needed.
Overview
The test of the Obelisk requires that you build the largest Obelisk of its kind in your Region. You must exceed the current largest Obelisk by just a single cubit, but you must retain the title of largest Obelisk for at least 1 Egyptian week. By meditating on Obelisks (Tests Menu), you can sense what the various kinds of obelisks are and the heights of the obelisks that came before.
The Test of the Obelisk requires participants to build the largest obelisk of one of (eventually) four types in their region. It must not merely be the largest obelisk still standing there -- but rather, the largest obelisk ever.
Once your obelisk has stood for one week (game time, this is 2 days and 8 hours realtime, give or take a bit), unsurpassed in your region, you pass the test.
