Sphinx-Giza Pharaohs


Sphinx - a stone guardian at rest in Giza Pharaohs.  Although not considered a "wonder of the world," however, along with the pyramids of Egypt is the personification of old.  Represents a figure of an animal with a lion's body and human head.  Heavy Stone Statue (length - 73 meters, height - 20 meters) was created at about the same time as the Pyramid of Chephren.  There is a suggestion that the Sphinx "is" a person of this particular king.
