What is a Sphinx
A Sphinx is an ancient Egyptian stone figure that has a lion's body and a humans or animals head. It is found in in giza in egypt. The Great Sphinx was built in approximately 2500 BC by the pharaoh Khafra. The Great Sphinx is a large human-headed lion that was carved from a mound of natural rock. It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafra'.
Some people believe that there are hidden passageways or rooms underneath the Great Sphinx, but nothing has been found yet.
The beginning of one story about the Great Sphinx is written between the sphinx's paws.
The story reads that one day, a young prince fell asleep next to the Great Sphinx. He had been hunting all day, and was very tired. He dreamt that the Great Sphinx promised that he would become the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt if he cleared away the sand covering its body.
The rest of the story is gone, so you will have to use your imagination to work out the ending.

Kia ora Saleha,
There were lots of things I didn't know about Sphinx's. Even though this is so short, it still has lots of interesting facts. Have ever seen a sphinx before?
