The Great Sphinx of Giza is important because it is one of The 7 Wonders of The World. It is also important because it is about 4500 years old. Also, because it was built for the pharaoh Kahfra by ancient Egyptians.

Because it was on the Giza Plateau that Pharaoh Khufu decided to establish royal necropolis [cemetery or burial site] known as the Giza Necropolis which includes the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx - it is about 5 miles from Giza.
