The construction of this pyramid required the use of more than two million blocks of limestone, some of which weigh up to 15 tons, which were extracted from quarries close to the area. As for the stones that were used in the outer cladding, they are smoother and purer stones.

Colossal statues are one of the defining features of ancient Egyptian civilization, and the Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous of them.

The ancient Egyptian sphinxes represented the king with the body of a lion as a clear indication of his power.
Evidence indicates that the Great Sphinx was carved during the reign of King Khafra (circa 2558 – 2532 BC), the owner of the second pyramid of Giza. The Great Sphinx and its temple in front of it are located directly next to the Temple of Khafre Valley and the lower part of the ascending road leading to its mortuary temple and the pyramid.
