They built it to bury or rather mummify a very important person the Pharaoh Khufu. It is suggested that thousands of slaves were forced under daily hard labour to work until the task was completed. It was considered that only by the unpaid labour provided by these slaves was it possible to build this great monolith.
Egyptian men, firstly, are not a monolith. With over 40 million men, Egypt has as many diverse appetites as you can imagine. In terms of weight, the general Egyptian preference is closer to the Latino preference than the European or American preferences. (This is to mean that a woman with some curves is more desirable than a bean-pole, i.e. Sofia Vergara not Paris Hilton.) Most Egyptian men, however, are not interested in overweight or obese women. Of course, it every Egyptian is different and this is only the "average".
The Endeavour River mouth is near where James Cook's ship The Endeavour ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef. After striking the reef and nearly sinking in June 1770, The Endeavourmanaged to stay afloat for another week whilst the crew sought desperately for land, eventually sighting the harbour formed by the Endeavour River. After the ship was landed, Cook spent almost two months repairing it, thus giving rise to the fledgling township of Cooktown.The harbour was originally named the Charco, but Cook renamed it Endeavour when he departed on 4 August 1770. At that stage, the town had developed into nothing more than a tent village. The spot where Cook beached his damaged ship is marked by a stone monolith, called Cook's Pillar, on the banks of the Endeavour River.
cause they wanted to ---------------------------- Somebody left a smart-ass answer but, then again, the question is flawed because it's unclear which "they" the question is referring to and exactly which Sphinx. If you're referring to the Great Sphinx of Giza, nobody has shot cannonballs at the monolith. The Great Sphinx has been excavated in modern times. Previously, only the head was exposed from the sands. The beard fell off due to time and gravity. Other parts of the head were possibly damaged by the vandalism of a 14th century Sufi Muslim who was trying to stop Nile tribes from worshiping the statue (and was hung for his defacing efforts by the Nile tribe). This may (if he was very successful) have been the cause of much of the defacement of the nose though it was long before the invention of cannonballs. Most of the damage is due to time and erosion and the oldest drawings in existence show the head has been in its current shape for hundreds of years. SHORT ANSWER: Nobody shot cannonballs at the sphinx.
