Photographer’s Note

UPDATE:
It's worth take a look ate the extra WSs (1, 2) that Stego added, mainly to understand the diferent sense of size that the Sphinx can have, when the POV and zoom changes.

----------------------------------

As it's common knowledge, while Obélix was visiting Egypt he accidentally ended up hanging from the Sphinx's nose, breaking it.

------

This is my contribution of this legendary monument in TE. The Sphinx is part of the complex of the Giza Pyramids in Cairo. A recent long-term restauration project (1989-98) involved hand-cutting ten thousand limestone blocks, to refit the paws, legs and haunches of the beast; the missing nose and beard have not been replaced, deliberately.
