The Great Sphinx of Giza is a statue of a reclining or couchant sphinx (a mythical creature with a lion's body and a human head) that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, near modern-day Cairo, Egypt. It is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 73.5 metres (241 ft) long, 6 metres (20 ft) wide, and 20.22 m (66.34 ft) high.[1] It is the oldest known monumental sculpture, and is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom in the reign of the pharaoh Khafra (c. 2558–2532 BC)

London, along with New York and Paris, is home to an ancient Egyptian obelisk, popularly (and wrongly) called Cleopatra’s Needle. The Needle is located on the Victoria Embankment near Embankment station. It was presented to the UK in 1819 by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan in commemoration of the victories at the Battle of the Nile and the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. The Needle is flanked by two bronze faux-Egyptian sphinxes that bear hieroglyphic inscriptions that say netjer nefer men-kheper-re di ankh (the good god, Thuthmosis III given life). In September 1917, during World War I, a bomb from a German air raid landed near the Needle. The damage remains deliberately unrepaired to this day and is visible in the form of shrapnel holes and gouges on the right-hand sphinx.

The Tersa Sphinx Xylophanes tersa tersa is a tiny little moth with very pretty brown colors. One of their host plants is the Pentas. This was the first type of Sphinx moth I ever raised so they are special to me. Even the scientific name is so neat.

Whoa! What's this in the hallway tonight? Always good to see a sphinx moth, and it's been a little while for me. I was actually able to gently spread its wings a little to show the underwings without it flying off. I put it outside, we can't have some fool swat it...
