Cairo Adventure: The Sphinx


The Sphinx (or Svincus) as Sherif said it, was said to be a guardian of the area. It was carved from a single sandstone right where it stands and even with a broken nose and missing beard, it’s an impressive creature. Some say it was built at the same time as the pyramids (around 4000 years ago) and some say it’s even older.
