A Sphinx. The great spinx was built near the great pyramid, and was supposed to protect Khufu (or if you prefer Greek, his name would be Cheops). There were many more statues of Sphinxes, though, including Hatshepsut having two pink sphinxes at her temple.
The riddle of the sphinx is What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?
It had / has two paws.
Well, there's two ways to answer this question, so I'll give both. The elevation above sea level of the Great Sphinx (which is the particular sphinx I assume you are referring to) is around 83 feet. It's actually on a slope, so the elevation at the middle is 83 feet. This is from Google Earth.Now, the height of the Great Sphinx is 66 feet. This is from NOVA online at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/egypt/explore/sphinx.html
No, it is estimated that the sphinx was built nearly two thousand years before Cleopatra was born.
