The Great Sphinx is the largest monolith statue in the world. It is 241 ft long, 63 feet wide and nearly 67 feet high. It has a body of a lion, with claws and a tail, and a human head. Modern Egyptologists believe that it was built approxiamtely 2500BC by the pharaoh Khafra. It was buriedup to its nose in sand until  it was excavated by the Frenchman Emile Baraize between 1925- 1936.
As one of the most recognizable statues in the world, it does not disappoint – at night or in the daytime – standing in front, behind, or next to the Sphinx one cant’t excape its mistic and overwhelming presents – and no picture will ever do its justice – but maybe the following photos will make you want to see for yourself one day!
Despite its nose and beard missing it has not lost its magic!
More from Egypt soon
