The Sphinx -- Cairo
Here you can see the Sphinx head-on from a
distance. Off behind it are the Pyramids of Khafre (right) and
Menkaure (left). Off to the Sphinx's left, you can see people
milling around the side of its enclosure.
The Sphinx itself is 21 meters high and 73.5
meters long. Its face was supposedly carven in the image of Khafre,
whose pyramid is directly behind it.
