(2005-02-27) | The size and weather erosion is much clearer from the rear. Some of the front (particularly the paws) have been rebuilt. Access is now restricted to a raised footpath to one side in order to conserve the giant Sphinx | Thorgrim
(2005-02-27) | Compare this with the photograph taken in 1912 |
