Sphinx of Giza. Located near the Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, it is the largest monolithic sculpture in the world. With a length of 73.5 meters and a height of 20.2 meters, it is dated around 2500 BC. It was commissioned by Chephren or his brother Djedefhor, both pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty, and would represent Cheops, their father.
