CHARACTER
- Great Sphinx of Giza, and the Great Pyramids, where built by tribes conquered Egypt. Evidence of this is so obvious that I do not understand why scientists, studying the history of Egypt for hundreds of years, still have not paid attention to it.
- The word "sphinx" in the Egyptian language is etymologically related to the word "seshep-ankh," which translated into Russian means "the image of being". Another well-known translation of the word - "the image of the living." Both these expressions have a common semantic content - "the image of the living God."

Intriguing tourists for centuries, Egypt's Great Sphinx has does not reveal its secrets. Nobody is certain when it was made, or why.

NATURE
- To form the lower body of the Sphinx, blocks of stone were used from the base rock and these blocks were then used in the core of the temples directly in front and to the south of the Sphinx.
- Despite the hard quality of the stone of the head, the face is badly damaged, and not only by natural erosion. The nose is missing altogether and the eyes and the areas around them are seriously altered from their original state. And the rocks color was dulled as well as the sides where.

CULTURE
- Some believe that Khafre usurped the throne of Djedefre and then built his pyramid and Sphinx at Giza. A German Egyptologist has even suggested that the Sphinx was built by the father of Khafre, King Khufu, who was also the builder of the Great Pyramid.
