The Giza Sphinx at Sunset
I'm back from an amazing trip to Egypt, many pictures to follow. This is the first one I've had a moment to process - the famous Sphinx at Giza.
The Sphinx is thought to have been built about 2550 BC by the Pharaoh Khafra, who built the pyramid that is pictured directly behind the Sphinx. It is the largest monolith statue in the world and is quite the site to behold.
