The Great Sphinx is a massive limestone statue on the Giza Plateau with the body of a lion and the head of a human (generally taken to represent the pharaoh Khafre). Unlike the winged, often female Greek sphinx, the Egyptian sphinx is typically male, royal in appearance (wearing a pharaonic headdress) and lacks wings, serving as a guardian figure rather than the riddle‑posing monster of Greek myth. Between its outstretched forepaws stands the Dream Stele (the stela of Thutmose IV), which bears an inscription recounting a dream the king had about the Sphinx.
