The great Sphinx, a symbol of strength and power, is one of the largest sculptures in the world. Six stories high and a city block long, it has stood guard over the pyramids of Egypt's Giza Plateau for 4500 years. Who build the Sphinx and why? And how did primitive sculptors manage to carve such a towering monument? In search of answers, the author takes readers back to a time before written history, and traces the trail of clues left behind by the ancient Egyptians. He shows what the Sphinx looked like when it was newly constructed. And as he explores various theories about its origins and history, he seamlessly incorporates fascinating information on the pyramids and the Rosetta Stone. With his trademark craftsmanship and keen instinct for a good story, Sibert Medalist James Cross Giblin presents the secrets of the Sphinx with the grace and elegance that have distinguished him as one of today's finest writers of nonfiction. Bagram Ibatoulline's stunning artwork brings these mysterious and dramatic moments in the world's past vividly to life.
