The Sphinx -- Cairo
Here's something you probably don't see every
day -- the Sphinx's rear end.
Control yourselves -- there's more than enough
to go around.
Note the brick outlines and how ridged it
all looks. Once it was probably finished with limestone and relatively
even, but erosion and time have stripped a lot of that away.
The Pharaohs were having to restore the Sphinx back in their
own time, and it hasn't gotten much better since then.
