"Built [in about 2500 B.C.] to watch over King Chephren's tomb, the colossal sculpture with a lion's body and the head of a man epitomizes all that draws us to Ancient Egypt—the mystery, the artistry, the links to civilization's beginnings and to man's preoccupation with the brevity of life and the uncharted territory beyond."
