The sphinxes measure 26 feet in length and represent King Amenhotep III, who reigned about 3,300 years ago. [sic]
Kewl!
wow - what a civilization! i can hardly wait to find out what there is to be learned.
The ancient Egyptians sure had a thing for cemeteries. Now they are all dead. Perhaps their time would have been better spent developing irrigation systems.
King Amenhotep III may be the best match for the face of the Giza Sphinx
I wonder what the significance of the sphinx was that it was assigned to King’s burial chambers.
That is just cool. However, 26 feet is not huge.
What Is a Sphinx?
A sphinx (or sphynx) is a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, with some variations. It is a prominent mythological figure in Egyptian, Asian, and Greek mythology.

The poem “Ozymandias” comes to mind.
