The Great Sphinx, a monument of wonder and intrigue, is most associated with Egypt and the land of the pharaohs. Cut into the limestone bedrock, the Sphinx has a body of a lion and the head of a man wearing a crown. This monument in 185 feet long (57 meters) and 20 feet wide (6 meters) and is located in the Pyramid complex of Giza. The Sphinx has sparked the imagination of artists and poets for thousands of years and has awed everyone that has stood before it. Even Napoleon recognized the greatness of this monument, even though his men may have shot off the nose for target practice.

It wasn’t until the 1900’s that the Sphinx’s body was uncovered from the sand. Today the entire body can be viewed. A restoration effort made it possible for the Sphinx’s current visage though there are significant flaws present in the body. Hopefully, generations to come will be able to enjoy the Great Sphinx.
