several shafts and chambers inside—some say some are still undiscovered around the pyramids are smaller tombs, temples, boat pits, causeways to the Nile

The Sphinx statue on the Giza Plateau near pyramids body of a lion and head of a man—associated with pharaoh and sun god—probably represents Pharoah Khafra

carved from a single stone, has been buried by sand several times—story between paws—Dream Stele much of the face and headdress has been destroyed from erosion, pollution, and human destruction-Napoleaon three tunnels discovered—none lead anywhere used to be brightly colored
