The Great Sphinx

SOURCE : Central Intelligence Agency.

The Great Sphinx, a reclining lion with a human head, is the oldest known monumental sculpture in the world.

It is believed to have been carved about 2500 B.C. and most probably depicts the Pharaoh Khafre.

The nose of the sphinx has eroded over time.
