APOSTILA DE REVISAO PARA AVALIACAO DO 1o SEMESTRE - 1o ANO THE SPHINX The Sphinx is ___________ monument carved out of a natural large rock and situated near the Chephren pyramid, at Giza, in Egipt. She looks patient and mysterious. She was built about 4,500 years ago. Many years before Christ it was not possible to see her body because it was hidden by sand. However it was possible to see her heard contemplating the desert and the Nile. In the 15th century BC, the sand was cleared away by Tuthmosis IV, a Pharaoh. Then in the 20th century AD, in 1905, the haunches and great paws were excavated. The Sphinx has a head similar to that of a human heing and a body similar to that of a Lion. Her head is 30 feet long and 14 feet wide; her body reaches 150 feet long and her paws are 50 feet long. In spite of her dimensions, she is not as big as the pyramides of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. Unfortunately the soft stone has been badly damaged by Wind, by sand , and even by some people such as Napoleonss gunners Who used her for target paractice. Now she is fenced off and people are not allowed to get as close to her as in the past. Sunset is a good time to see the Sphinx and to have a wonderful view over Cairo from the plateau on which the monument stands.
