1x5 - Ancient Egypt

On the eastern base of the Giza Plateau, below the pyramid complex, is another stunning symbol of ancient Egypt, The Great Sphinx. Like the pyramids it protects, The Great Sphinx is massive. Its body measures 240 feet and its head is 66 feet high. A mysterious mixture of man and beast, this strange sculpture crouches in front of the pyramid complex of Giza, quietly keeping the secret of its true significance.
