A colossal statue in the form of a lion with a human head wearing an ancient Egyptian headdress (and which may or may not have originally been a normal lion head) '''The Sphinx''' is one of the best known man-made structures in the real world. It is so closely associated with [[Egypt]] that it serves as an instant visual clue of the setting, even more so than [[The Pyramids]] (which also exist in other parts of the world.) The Sphinx is located next to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest one in the world.
