Giza, Egypt
November 8, 2011
Some more photos from our Egypt journey a year ago. We made this journey just a week before those battles there.
"The Great Pyramid of Giza (called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt.
The Great Sfinks is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 73.5 metres (241 ft) long, 6 metres (20 ft) wide, and 20.22 m (66.34 ft) high.[1] It is the oldest known monumental sculpture, and is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of the pharaoh Khafra (c. 2558–2532 BC)", tells Wikipedia.

I took this photo through a window of our bus. -
Also this photo is taken through the window as the quality shows but I got both the Sfinks and two of three pyramids in Giza the same photo.
-
I can tell, this figure was really impressive even the Sfinks has lost his nose and beard also colours and decorations have gone.
