The Giza pyramid complex & The Sphinx

The Giza pyramid complex, is the site on the Giza Plateau consist of the Great Pyramid of Giza also known as the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. They are made of limestone and granite. They have constructed-in 2560-2580 BC.

The Pyramid of Khufu is huge when you look at it from ground level even at today’s standards. It is possible to enter it. We opted not to enter it because it is known to be empty inside. We were taken to a photo spot where tourists can pose with the 3 pyramids in the background.

After the pyramid visit, we went to the sphinx. The Sphinx is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh, Khafre. It is a monolith carved into the bedrock of the plateau, which also served as the quarry for the pyramids and other monuments in the area. The body of the lion up to its neck is fashioned from softer layers that have suffered considerable disintegration caused by wind and wind-blown sand. The one-meter-wide nose on the face is missing. An archeologist who performed a study concluded that it was broken with instruments at an unknown time between the 3rd and 10th centuries
