Top 10 places to visit in Egypt | The Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx of Giza 



The Great Sphinx of Giza ordinarily alluded to as the Sphinx of Giza or simply the Sphinx, is a limestone sculpture of a leaning back sphinx, a legendary animal. Confronting straightforwardly from West to East, it remains on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The essence of the Sphinx is for the most part accepted to address the pharaoh, Khafre.












The first state of the Sphinx has been reestablished with layers of squares. It estimates 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the highest point of the head, and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its back backside. It is the most established known great figure in Egypt and is regularly accepted to have been planned, etched, and built by antiquated Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the rule of the pharaoh Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC)













The Sphinx contrasts from others in that it has a creature body and a human head, though most others have human bodies and creature heads. One clarification for this inconsistency is that the Sphinx is the natural portrayal of the heavenly body Leo, which has a lion's body.


















The Great Sphinx is the oldest & longest stone model from the Old Kingdom. During the eighteenth line, it was designated "Hours of The Horizon", the sun god that remains over the skyline.
