The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx is a statue that was built more than 4,500 years ago by Chephren's workers. It has the face of Chephren and the body of a lion. Over the years, part of the uraeus (sacred cobra), the nose and the ritual beard have fallen apart, though this does not stop tourists from taking a step back into the past.

What is a library's card catalog?
Before computers existed to keep the information needed to locate a particular book, that information was kept in a library's card catalogue. This is a system of thousands of index cards, three for each book, giving identifying information on that book and where to find it in the library. Each book would have a separate card for its author, title and subject matter with each card being filed in a separate section pertaining to those three headings. In a large library the card catalogue would be a large block of drawers in which the cards would be stored. Modern computer technology with its capacity for storing huge amounts of data electronically has all but eliminated the need for card catalogues.
