The Sphinx Of Giza photo copyrighted by: Jim Zuckerman The Sphinx is carved out of the living rock, though parts of it have been repaired with blocks of stone. A Sphinx is an iconic image of a recumbent lion with the head of a ram, bird or human, invented by the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom, but a cultural import in archaic Greek mythology, where it received its name "strangler".
