The Great Sphinx of Giza is located in Giza Necropolis, one of the most famous Pyramids of Egypt. The Pyramids were built because the Egyptians believed in the after life, and that the kings were what connected the people with the Gods. There are about 80 ancient Egypt Pyramids but only 3 most famous and well kept ones. I chose The Great Sphinx of Giza because I think Egypt has a lot of histories and myth stories about it. And it's always great to start from the most famous places.
It’s said that Khafre built his own tomb next to his father, and since the sphinx looked like him it was then credited to him. The Sphinx was built for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khafre during his reign (2520-2494 BC). Egyptian pharoahs were buried in tombs in the pyramids, along with their jewelry, body organs, and their pets! The pyramids took any years to build, and are still standing today. They are one of the most amazing places in the world to visit, and one of the wonders of the world.
