Photos of the Sphinx - Pyramids - Egypt
The Sphinx, with the head of a man, a body of a lion, is there to protect the pyramids. The Sphinx is now under major restoration after centuries of erosion by sand wind and rain, even Napoleon had his share when his troops used it for target practice during their occupation of Egypt, and hence they blew the nose off.
The Sphinx sits majestically with the two pyramids of Khafra and Mankara behind. The great pyramid of Khufu is to the right and is not visible in this photo.
Close up profiles show you what he looks like.
