Face to Face with the Ancient World – The Pyramids & The Sphinx

#postandearn #sphinx #gizapyramid #cairo #historicallandmarks Finally stood before the Great Pyramids of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx—and yes, they’re every bit as awe-inspiring as you imagine (maybe even more). 📍 Just outside of Cairo, the Giza Plateau is home to the last remaining wonder of the ancient world: the Great Pyramid of Khufu. It’s over 4,500 years old and was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for nearly 4,000 years! Alongside it are the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each with their own unique features and mysteries. These massive tombs were built to honor pharaohs and ensure their journey to the afterlife. 🧩 And then there’s the Great Sphinx—half lion, half man—guarding the plateau with a silent, watchful gaze. Believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre, it’s carved from a single block of limestone and is one of the oldest and largest statues in the world.
