I am in the planning stages of building a 25 foot obelisk on my property. I was planning to use concrete and hadn't heard of rammed earth. Is rammed earth an appropriate material for my project?

(Everything thinks I am joking about this but I am 100% serious)

Does it have some sort of purpose? Personally I would choose granite since I don't want people to think my god is poor.

GP could use Wallington's technique and place a monolith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_Wallington

No, just something aesthetically appealing and it would remind me of my favorite computer game as a kid, Heroes of Might & Magic 3

Where are you located? I hope to put a variety of sculptures (and maybe an obelisk or two) on my 5 acres in South Florida

No, rammed earth needs a roof above.
