　　Along with the Great Pyramid(金字塔) of Giza in Egypt, the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest and most studied monuments(纪念碑) of human history.

　　Carved(雕刻) from a single piece of stone of hundreds of tons, the Sphinx is the head of a man resting on the body of a lion.

　　The nose, eyes and ears have all been carved in the terrific proportions(比例). That's not easy for an object 180 metres long, 64 metres high and 35 metres wide.

　　No one knows what tools were used to carve the stone, when this was done, or by whom. The Egyptians wrote very little about the building of the Sphinx.

　　There are basically two schools of thought about how it was built.

　　No one knows what the Sphinx looked like when it was first finished because both natural erosion(侵蚀) and damage(破坏) done by man have changed its shape.

　　Many earlier pictures of the Sphinx show it with wings(翅膀), the body of a lion and ox(公牛), and the face of a man. Today only the man and the lion can be seen.

　　To this day, people can't agree with each other on the true role(作用) of the Sphinx.
