The Sphinx is a mythological creature that has fascinated the human imagination for millennia.
The Egyptian Sphinx is depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh or god. It symbolized royal power, wisdom and the protection of temples and tombs.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous and imposing one, carved into the limestone rock of the Giza Plateau.
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is a winged creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman.
It is known for its riddle, which it posed to travelers, devouring those who were unable to solve it.
