Description
The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, photographed in 1858 by Francis Frith (English, 1822 - 1898). At this time, the Sphinx at Giza was buried almost to its neck in the desert sand, and Frith may not have realized that its enormous body (in the shape of a lion) lay hidden underneath. The Great Sphinx of Giza is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 241 feet long, 63 feet wide, 66 feet high.
