Framed Print of Sphinx and pyramid, Egypt, 1850s C016 / 4320
Sphinx and pyramids, Giza Necropolis, Egypt. These 26th-century BC structures are made from limestone, with granite also used in the pyramids (tombs for the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt). At left is the pyramid of the pharaoh Khafre. The Great Sphinx, dating to the same period, is a statue of a mythical creature with the face of a man and the body of a lion. Carved out of the surrounding bedrock, it has a height of 20 metres. The lower portions of the Great Sphinx, covered by desert sands, were excavated several times in the 19th century. Khafres Pyramid reaches a height of 143 metres. This view, by the photographer Felix Teynard, was published in 1851. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © LIBRARY OF CONGRESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
