Pyramids and the Sphinx

Pyramids of Cheops and Chephren. These monuments have stood for 46 centuries and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World ; possibly the most visited monuments of Egypt . The Sphinx, an androsphinx with the body of a lion and the face of the Pharaoh Khafra, stands guard over the pyramids.  The Sphinx measures 50 meters long and 22 meters high.  Carved from a single stone, it lies just before the Pyramids, and even today its meaning and origin remain shrouded in mystery.
