To tag obelisks I suggest
man_made=obelisk
an alternative could be
historic=obelisk
but some obelisks are actually not old, so historic might not yet be
an appropriate tag for them. In combination with historic:civilization
and historic:period they could still be clearly distinguished.

example for a not so old Obelisk:

Are there any objections? Otherwise I'll set up a proposal.
As that Wikipedia article says, its just a particular style/shape of
monument or memorial.
So I think it would be best tagged as historic=monument or
historic=memorial, plus a subtag for obelisk.
Maybe something like monument:style=obelisk ?
There's quite a few other monument/memorial styles that would be useful
to tag, eg statue, fountain, spire etc.
