SPHINX OF GIZA
The Sphinx of Giza is suppose to be a symbolic meaning to the people of Egypt as Khafra;although,it also shows Egypt's power and their history.The face of it of course is Khafra himself;but it also has the body of a lion."The structure of the monument is suppose to act as a guardian of the temples around the area and also as stated before guardian over Egyptians." stated a historian from the article of www.ancient.edu.The Egyptians were great architects because their monuments and historical items have lasted a long time,most of it is because it was made out of limestone.The actual structure of the monument was like most other goddesses and gods in Egypt.creative commons
