Sphinx of Giza

The famous sphinx is found right next to the pyramids, just a little further down. It's located in what used to be the Temple of Chephren and was therefore joined to the pyramid of the Pharaoh, which can be seen in the background in a straight line if you are looking directly at the nose-less, of course, Sphinx. Theories about the disappearance of its nose range from blaming the Napoleonic troops' target practice to the accusation that the temple was buried by sand and the nose lost its way.
