dec 12, 2533 - Sphinx statue completed
Description:
The Great Sphinx is one of the world’s largest sculptures, measuring some 240 feet long and 66 feet high. It features a lions body and a human head adorned with a royal headdress.
The statue was carved from a single piece of limestone, and pigment residue suggests that the entire Great Sphinx was painted. It would have taken about three years for 100 workers, using stone hammers and copper chisels, to finish the statue.
