Pyramid of Khafre (Kefren)

Guarding the Giza plateau, the Great Sphinx is an enigmatic limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, believed to represent Khafre. Carved from a single block of stone, this iconic monument has watched over the pyramids for millennia, its mysteries captivating the imagination of visitors worldwide.
