EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Fragment of the Beard of the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt 2. Description: This photograph captures a fragment of the ancient beard of the enigmatic Great Sphinx of Giza, located in Egypt during the New Kingdom period around 1420 BC. The Sphinx, a legendary guardian figure with the body of a lion and the head of a human, is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt and a major tourist attraction in the present day. 3. Background: The Great Sphinx of Giza is believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose IV (1401-1390 BC) or his successor Amenhotep II (1427-1401 BC). The monumental statue, which measures approximately 20 meters in length and 7 meters in height, was carved out of a single limestone outcrop. Over the centuries, the Sphinx's beard, made of limestone or sandstone, has been subject to weathering and erosion, resulting in its fragmentation. 4. Provenance: This specific fragment of the Sphinx's beard is now housed in the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom. It was discovered during the excavations carried out by the Italian archaeologist Giovanni Battista Caviglia in the late 18th century. Caviglia was a prominent figure in the field of Egyptian antiquities, and his discoveries significantly contributed to the growing interest in ancient Egypt in Europe. 5. Significance: The fragment of the Great Sphinx's beard is an essential piece of ancient Egyptian art and history. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the civilization that created this magnificent statue and offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of the New Kingdom period. The fragment's presence in the British Museum allows scholars, researchers, and visitors to study and appreciate the intricacies of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and the historical significance of the Great Sphinx of Giza.
