The Best Egytpian photo competition?

Well, perhaps not the best photo ever taken, but different.  Oh it was hot as well.  Similarities are quite striking aren't they, except I still have my nose.  The Sphinx is only on the site of the Great Pyramids of Giza because it was a pile of ugly dirt and they didn't know what to do with it so they carved the beast with the head of the Pharaoh and the body of a lion.

  1. Hey love the shot...very amusing and I didn't know the reason behind it being carved - so you see I've learnt something now at 9.25pm on a Tues evening!!!
