Grand Sphinx - a photo on Flickriver

Grand Sphinx

            Granite

The Louvre
Paris, France

Found in Tanis

The sphinx is a monstrous being, with a lion's body and a king's head. It was successively inscribed with the names of the kings Amenemhat II (1898-1866 BC, 12th Dynasty), Merenptah (1213-1203 BC, 19th Dynasty) and Chechonq I (945 -924 BC, 22nd dynasty). Archaeologists see in some details indications of a more receding period, the Old Kingdom (around 2600 BC).
