Introduction

This is my favorite! I started to flip through the introduction and saw it was briefly about Egypt and got very excited. Sort of made me wish I actually went but anyway. Here are my notes...

INTRO
- The Great Sphinx is carved from the Giza plateau
-body of a lion and king Khafre's body
-Has withstood the hot desert air and air pollution
-"symbolizes mysterious wisdom and dreams of permanence, of immortality"
-Egyptians may not have called it art back then but we now consider it art
