Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a large sculpture on the west bank of the Nile River. The Great Sphinx is not a true sphinx; it is the head of King Chephren with a crouching body. It was built in the Fourth Dynasty (2723 BCE-2563 BCE) and it measures 157 feet long, 20 feet wide and 66 feet high.

There are also people who believe that the pattern of erosion suggests that it was really built approximately 10500 BC, but this view is not accepted by the mainstream of archaeology.
