But the ancient Egyptians were growing up sculptures similar to the Sphinx in the smaller sizes, for example, decorate the road between the Temple of Karnak and Luxor Temple. This road lined with sphinxes, but the head of the ram head and body and take the lions body put the Sphinx, and the way this so-called road rams. And sometimes they sphinxes made small glorification of kings, such as a statue of the Pharaohs exists in Fayoum, another statue represents Queen Hatshepsut. Greetings Mahmoud girded
