Wonders of the Pyramids and Stone Secrets

The Sleepless Desert Guardian: The Sphinx

Right next to the great pyramids sits a legendary, massive guardian who hasn't slept for thousands of years: The Sphinx! Imagine a creature with the mighty body of a lion to show bravery and super strength, and the head of a human wearing a royal headdress to show human wisdom and intelligence.
