This extraordinary and[,] mysterious statue of a creature half-lion, half-woman, is[,] known to have existed in the time of Cheops, about 3,700[,] B.C., and is perhaps older still. It was raised in honour of[,] the God Harmachis, the Rising Sun, but modern Egyp-[,]tians call it Abu-Hor, Father of Terror. The huge image[,] is hewn out of the living rock, the body is about 150 feet[,] long, the face 14 feet wide, and the height, from base to[,] head, about 70 feet. Mutilated as it has been, it is still[,] wonderful, and its secret is a secret still.; Tuck [trademark]; (FOR ADDRESS ONLY.); Printed in England.. Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons
