Riddles of the Sphinx

For 45 centuries, the Great Sphinx has cast its enigmatic gaze over Egypt's Giza Plateau. The biggest and oldest statue in a land of colossal ancient monuments, its scale is staggering. This strange half-human, half-lion image has inspired countless fantastic theories about its origins. How was it built, and who or what does it represent?
