Information about the Sphinx The Great Sphinx of Giza is situated on the west bank of the Nile River, and is also close to the Great Pyramids. It is about 240 ft. long, 20 ft. wide, and 66 ft. high. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in the world. It is generally thought to have been made in the reign of the pharaoh Khafra, at the same time as the second pyramid there, which is his. Some archaeologists dispute this. Unlike the later Greek Sphinx, which has a woman s head, a lion s body, and an eagle s wings, this and other Egyptian sphinxes have a lion s body and a man s head.
Exercise Two Read this story about the Sphinx. Do you know the answer to the Sphinx s question? In Greek Mythology, the Sphinx was a giant monster with the body of a lion, the wings of a bird, and a human head.
