Sphinx

The statue of the Great Sphinx in the city of Cairo, in the Giza region – is located east of the pyramid of Khafre, it is located toward the Nile and the rising Sun. The Sphinx was carved from a single block of the same material as the pyramids of Cheops and Khafre and is a reclining lion with a human head.
The length of the statue, from the front paw to the tail, is 57 meters, and the height is 20 meters. Based on the records found at the feet of the statue, historians suggest that the Sphinx was built on the orders of the pharaoh Khafre, and its facial features repeat those of the pharaoh himself.
