The images presented here were taken before most Sphinx restorations.
The images are extremely rare and old.
Scientists have no idea who erected this majestic monument and only adds to the mystery of the Great Sphinx, which has already been the center of innumerable speculations linking it to lost civilizations and extraterrestrial beings.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most beloved landmarks, as mysterious as it is beautiful.
From an archaeological point of view, it is one of the most enigmatic monuments ever found, since scientists have absolutely no idea who built it and what its original purpose was.
At 241 feet long and 66 feet high, the Great Sphinx of Giza holds the record for the largest monolithic statue on the surface of the planet.
It is believed that the Great Sphinx was discovered in the year 1817, when the first modern archaeological excavation, led by Giovanni Battista Caviglia managed to discover the Sphinx's chest.
This marvelous piece of ancient architecture remains one of the few ancient pieces that no one has bothered to consider, and great researchers have been perplexed by its mysterious history for years.
Many scholars consider the Sphinx as an astronomically aligned monument.
The geological results indicate that the Sphinx may have been carved before 10,000 BC, coinciding with the Lion Age, or Leo, which lasted from 10,970 to 8810 BC.
