The original purpose of the Sphinx is unknown. It may have been built to symbolically guard over the Giza plateau, and it may have been a portrait of Pharaoh Khafre. It's face seems to bear a resemblance to Khafre's, and the royal headdress that it wears is particular to pharaohs.
Now you could easily put your own fully sculpted Sphinx to your own land. You could modify its shape so it could be easily fit to your home too. It is easy to modify also so you could lower item prims by this way too.
Very neat!
Fits nicely into a desert landscape. I put one near my Alteran Stargate.
A work of art!
Well made sculpture of great sphinx.. for fun.
I have to admit that I was suspicious about this and that it would be a joke or something, but it is really a mesh great Sphinx as it promised and it looks as it does in the pictures. Of course not as good as the real thing, but for a decoration it is fun. Might be heavy on the prims for some people: at it's largest it was 65 prims: 64 meters in lenght , 16 wide and 17 high.
I give it five stars, not because it can't get better, but considering the price of 9 linden it is a good buy.
