The Great Sphinx of Giza is believed to have been carved during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre, around 2500 BCE, although some scholars suggest it may date back even earlier. The statue, which features a lion's body and a human head, was likely created by skilled laborers and craftsmen of ancient Egypt using limestone from the Giza plateau. Its purpose remains a subject of debate, with theories ranging from serving as a guardian of the Giza necropolis to representing Khafre himself.
