Pyramids and Sphinx

Pyramids and Sphinx


The Pyramid of Khafre, the son of King Khufu, was almost as large as that of his father. The Great Sphinx is located in front near Khafre’s valley temple. The Sphinx has the facial features of King Khafre and the body of a reclining lion. Carved from a knoll of the rock it is 240 feet long and 66 feet high.
