3. Sphinx in close up

    3. Sphinx in close up, Cairo, Egypt
This photo is a featured photo! This is a top pick!
The pyramids were mostly built from stone quarried from a site in front, however a lump was unsuitable, so rather than leave a ugly sight the pharaoh (Khafre or chephrew) who built the second pyramid ordered the sphinx carved.
