The mystery of the Sphinx One of the world's most studied monuments is the
Sphinx, which is 1)--. close to the Great Pyramid,
sixteen kilometers from Cairo in Egypt. Carved in
ancient times out of a 2) piece of limestone
over sixty metres long and twenty metres high, it
weighs hundreds of tons. This extraordinary
monument consists 3) of the head of a man
and the body of a crouching lion, a combination which suggests strength and wisdom. Over
the years, some of its facial 4) have sustained damage.
The smile, which some people describe mysterious, is in
fact the result of erosion rather than design, and the nose,
which has 5) since been broken away, was probably
the unfortunate victim of invading soldiers' target practice.
At one time there was a serpent on its forehead and a
royal beard, a fragment of which exists in a museum.

Pharaoh Khafre 5,000 years ago. However, some recent
commentators have 8) that it belonged to a much older civilization, which disappeared
in a legendary flood that is 9) ... to have destroyed everything in the world over 7,000
years ago. They have tried to 10) that the weathering of the Sphinx was 11) by
water rather than wind and sand, and one has even suggested that it might have been
built on a much older site about 12,500 years ago. Whatever its 12) there is no
doubt that to the Egyptians, the Sphinx represents the very 13) of their country's
magnificent culture.
