The Great Sphinx of Giza The greatest mystery of Ancient Egyptian mysteries is also the largest monolithic statue and the oldest known monumental sculpture in the world. When was it built, for what purpose, which pharaoh does it represent, and who broke the nose? Any answer is a matter of conjecture. Egyptologists have not found any conclusive evidence. No matter. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a wonder to behold

What’s so great about the Great Sphinx? Plenty, as visitors will be awestruck with its sheer height (its name literally means The Terrifying One). A mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, the face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the Pharaoh Khafre. The Sphinx is missing a nose and beard mysteriously, possibly due to wear and tear, and was likely initially a focus of solar worship, as the lion has always been a symbol of the sun. The Sphinx itself is an incredible creature, that continues to stand tall amidst the desert landscape even countless years after it was first constructed, and you will be fascinated by its seeming immortality, as you gaze into its eyes and wonder if it’ll open its mouth to riddle you further.
