The Sphinx of Giza is a symbol that has represented the essence of Egypt for thousands of years. Even with all of the pictures that we see of the Sphinx, nothing can really prepare you for the time that you finally see the Sphinx with your own eyes.
Two 3500-year-old sphinx monuments guard the entrance of the Academy of Arts Museum. The pair are the most Northern-located Egyptian sphinxes. Russian government bought the pair from Egypt in 1820 and placed them here, visible on the bank of the Neva river. This is probably the only place in the world where you can see each year Egyptian, 3500 thousand old sphinxes covered with snow in the winter.

... When Zeus lays down like these he always reminds me of an Egyptian Sphinx ♥ Although the Sphinx is supposed to be feline :D, perhaps they had a canine version somewhere :D
Happy Friday everyone
