GREAT SPHINX OF GIZA.

The great SPHINX of Giza....

They may not look very attractive right now... but those pyramids were the most sexiest thing about ancient Egypt! 


The then......


                                                     Pyramids.



As opposed to the now....







Truth is... to Archaeologist, Egyptologists and to us ''History lovers''... The older the better. we just pray and hope by some miracle they'll be a way to preserve such huge monuments as Global warming and nature might not be so kind.


The answer to who exactly built the Sphinx is still a debated question as the question always arises. 

"Taking all things into consideration, it seems that we must give the credit of erecting this, the world's most wonderful statue, to Khafre, but always with this reservation: that there is not one single contemporary inscription which connects the Sphinx with Khafre; so, sound as it may appear, we must treat the evidence as circumstantial, until such time as a lucky turn of the spade of the excavator will reveal to the world a definite reference to the erection of the Sphinx." SELIM HASSAN in 1949
