In the first paragraph, it is said to be the second-tallest stone structure in the world later on, the article claims that it is the tallest (and it doesn't mention 'free-standing'). The article claims "The monument is the world's tallest stone structure, and is the world's second tallest obelisk (behind San Jacinto Monument, in Texas), standing 169.294 meters (555 feet 5⅛ inches) in height and made of marble, granite, and sandstone."
