The Sphinx is a famous statue of a mythical creature that is located next to the Egyptian pyramids. The figure is carved from solid rocky limestone. Its exact time of construction and true origin are still unknown. Crowds of tourists come here every year to see one of the oldest statues in the world. The Chinese city, Shijiazhuang, has a scandalously famous copy of the Sphinx that has caused a number of debates over the years. There are usually not many people who want to look at this landmark, which is why many tourists intentionally come to this place instead.
