英文注释:

"Since Khafre had it hewed, the Great Sphinx has represented protection for the pharaoh and people of Egypt. Even the powerful Ramses II thought of himself as being enfolded by the colossus. After thousands of years as symbolic protector, the Sphinx needs protection by—and from—the modern world."

—Text from "Computer Rebuilds the Ancient Sphinx," April 1991, National Geographic magazine
