Dicono che la Sfinge,faccia la guardia alla piramide di Chefren, E' la più antica statua monumentale d'Egitto. Gli archeologi la collocano intorno al 2500 a.c. e ne attribuiscono l'ispirazione a Chefren. È alta 20 m e ha il corpo allungato, le zampe protese e un copricapo reale. Fu scolpita in un affioramento di roccia naturale sulla cui base furono aggiunti alcuni blocchi di pietra in occasione delle numerose ristrutturazioni, a partire dalla XVIII dinastia. Sono tanti i racconti sul naso della Sfinge di Giza, secondo le quali la sua distruzione avvenne o per un colpo sparato da un mamelucco, un ottomano o un francese. In realtà andò perso prima del XV secolo. In origine la Sfinge aveva anche una finta barba stilizzata, simbolo di regalità, ma anch'essa scomparve. Un pezzo di roccia prelevato dal luogo in cui essa sorgeva sulla sabbia oggi è conservato nel British Museum di Londra. Critiche e commenti sempre super graditi. Grazie.

Dario, I wanted to take the two pyramids together with the Sphinx in the middle, and then, I took almost at the entrance. Thanks for the welcome presence in my galleries and for the beautiful comment. As soon as you can, you go to Egypt, after we always want to go back like me.
A good evening, hello
Annamaria :-P

I consider it a single document as it appears in your shot. An indispensable piece of history depicted by the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx, clashes with the deployment of the chairs that looks like a military alignment to protect the mythical Egyptian monuments. Excellent attached description which completes the work, very good !!!!!

This too is beautiful. It seems a photo of other times contrasting with the modernity of the objects. Confuses and intrigues. You miss to watch the details. Bel B & W. Great. Hello Luciano

I knew that the nose of the Sphinx was destroyed because of a French cannon shot in the eighteenth century, this is the version most credited by historians

Joe, I for historical notes I made reference to a text taken directly to Cairo by a tour guide, and then I followed a broadcast on Egypt led by the son of Piero Angela. I'll do more research. Thank you.
A greeting
