Located in Egypt near the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx has the body of a lion and the face of a man. In this episode, we’ll explore when and why the Sphinx was built, and what it might have meant to the ancient Egyptians. Some think it protected sacred places or represented a powerful pharaoh. We’ll also learn how time, sand, and weather have changed the Sphinx, and how people today are working to protect it. With its huge size and puzzling history, the Great Sphinx has amazed visitors for thousands of years—and it still keeps many of its secrets hidden in the desert sands\n
