Stop 1
The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most famous monuments in Egypt. It is a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. The Sphinx stands on the Giza Plateau, near the Pyramids, and is thought to have been built around 2500 BCE.
Here are some key facts about the Sphinx:
•It is about 73 meters long and 20 meters high.
•It was carved from a single piece of limestone.
•Its nose is missing, likely due to erosion or vandalism.
•The “Dream Stele” of Thutmose IV, placed between its paws, tells a story about the pharaoh receiving a divine message in a dream.
