Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza)
The Sphinx and Valley Temple of King Khafre—they’re nearly the emblems here, and a fine slice of national puzzles. That giant statue with the body of a lion and the head of a man is believed to be King Khafre himself, always looking out across the Giza plateau. For it is among, if not truly the oldest statue in existence, coming in at 73 meters long and 20 meters high. Not far off stands for Old Egyptian building skill at its peak — having also been the spot used for royal funerary rites. Large limestone blocks of this temple and statues that have made it through time give us snaps of what must have been great about Old Kingdom days. These spots add up quite an interesting look into religious and building history.
