The Great Sphinx
The sacred Sphinx has long served as a guardian of the eternal treasures of Giza. It was sculpted from a massive limestone block under the reign of King Khafre (2558–2532 BC). The figure of Horus of the Horizon holds the enchanted artifact known as the Dream Stele between its paws, which was installed by Thutmose IV in 1401 BC.
The Valley Temple
