The Great Sphinx of Giza reborn as a lion in the desert

The Great Sphinx of Giza reborn as a lion in the desert: "The Sphinx in Egypt might have originally had the face of a lion, it is claimed.

And it could be much older than previously thought, investigations led by a British geologist suggest.

Egyptologists have long argued the monument outside Cairo, which has the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, was built soon after the first pyramid - around 4,500 years ago."
