Quote
A gigantic statue, with lion body and the head of a man, gazes east from
Egypt along the thirtieth parallel. It is a monolith, carved out of the
limestone bedrock of the Giza plateau, two hundred and forty feet long,
thirty-eight feet wide across the shoulders, and sixty-six feet high. It is
worn down and eroded, battered, fissured and collapsing. Yet nothing
else that has reached us from antiquity even remotely matches its power
and grandeur, its majesty and its mystery, or its sombre and hypnotic
watchfulness.
It is the Great Sphinx.
