8. The Great Sphinx of Egypt
A sphinx is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a person, a hawk, or a ram. Ancient Egyptian sculptors made statues of sphinxes to honor kings and queens. In Egyptian art, kings are often shown as lions defeating their enemies. To the Egyptians, the sphinx stood for royal power and protection.
Alongside the pyramids in the desert near Giza, Egypt, is a huge monument called the Great Sphinx. The Great Sphinx has a human face. On its head is a royal headdress. The statue lies near the pyramid of King Khafre, a Fourth Dynasty ruler. The sphinx’s face is thought to be a portrait of Khafre.
The Great Sphinx was built about 4,500 years ago. It is the oldest and most famous statue of a sphinx. It is also the largest, measuring 240 feet long and about 66 feet high.
