The Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the face of a human, is about 73 meters long, 21 meters high, and 5 meters wide in the face. It is carved from a single giant rock and sits on the south side of the Hafra Pyramid, only 350 meters away from the Khufu Pyramid. It was built by Khufu's son, Djedefre, to commemorate his father, and the Sphinx is undoubtedly the largest statue ever built by humans in history.
