This is the largest sphinx able to be carried or moved in Egypt. The material is alabaster stone. The majority of historians believe that it represents the queen hatshepsut, the only female ruled Egypt in ancient Egyptian history.

Highly recommend checking out the most articulated and most beautiful detail Sphinx in all of Egypt. It was one of the first capitals of the land. This size colossal

Quite amazing just to sit in front of this Sphinx and think about all the history that is permeated in it and around. The carving is believed to have taken place between 1700 and 1400 BCE, which was during the 18th Dynasty. It is actually strange to think that no one is quite sure as to which pharaoh this was supposed to honour. I bet the pharaoh is a bit annoyed about all this.

Visited Mit Rahina on 11 October 2022. Mit Rahina is included with the Cairo Pass. The sphinx of Memphis is the second largest sphinx ever discovered. The largest sphinx is of course the Great Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. First discovered in 1912 it is also known as the Alabaster or Calcite Sphinx. It's approximate weight is ninety tons. It is believed to have been carved sometime during the 18th Dynasty and it is unique in that it has no carvings or inscriptions on it. For this reason scholars are unsure whom this sphinx was constructed by or made in honour of. Some believe it to be Hatshepsut or Amenhotep II or III.
