No one knows for sure exactly when, why or how it was built. It is a huge sculpture, and is believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241feet (73.5meters) long and 66 feet(20 meters) high. Due to its unknown origin, this huge creation has puzzled locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation. Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a ruler named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre’s body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx’s face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx’s face was modeled after the face of Khafre. For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the ruler Thutmose IV dreamed that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was completely exposed. Now, however, wind and smog(烟雾)are causing damage to the Sphinx. Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt. 1. Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious A.
