    The document is about the Sphinx, an ancient carved limestone statue located in Egypt that is over 240 feet long, 66 feet tall and weighs over 1000 tons. It depicts a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre. While some believe it was carved around 2500 BC, others suggest it could be much older based on signs of weathering.
