An Ever Changing Face
“Fifty years from now someone can take that same picture again and it will be interesting to see how different it is.”
—Photographer Kenneth Garrett
At once king and cat, the Sphinx greets the morning sun at Giza with regal poise—though without a nose, which was destroyed in antiquity. Crouching in front of Khafre’s pyramid, this monumental sculpture pairs the ruler’s head with a lion’s body—wisdom and strength in timeless symmetry.
