Message from Nicole Carter

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a massive limestone statue in Egypt that likely dates back to the reign of King Khafre. It's got the body of a lion and the face of a dude wearing a fancy hat. Some say it was built by Khafre, others think his bro or even his dad might have had a hand in it. The poor Sphinx has seen better days, with erosion taking its toll over the years. And let's not forget about the missing nose—some blame Napoleon, others point fingers at a 14th-century Sufi Muslim. Either way, this ancient monument has definitely seen some stuff.
