Obviusly I could not leave Giza
withouth having a photo of me taken in front of the Great Sphinx.
The Great Sphinx is to the northeast of Khafre's (Chephren) Valley Temple.
Where it sits was once a quarry.
People believe that Khafre's workers shaped the stone into the lion
and gave it their king's face over 4,500 years ago.
Khafre's name was also mentioned on the Dream Stele,
which sits between the paws of the great beast.
However, no one is completely certain that it is in fact the face of Khafre,
though indeed that is the preponderance of thought.
Recently, however, it has been argued that Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid,
may have also had the Great Sphinx built.
I think that if you look at the Sphinx's profile you might also notice the similitude with my profile and....
OK,OK, Mostafa is telling me that I'n a little too fanciful!
