Sphinxes with a Human Head and with a Ram Head at Point Y. Karnak (Thebes), 1851-1852. The monumental sphinx at Giza, which has the head of a man and the body of a lion, is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. The country contains other, humbler versions of this mythical creature. The one here with the head of a ram is only nine feet long and held a statue of a human between its paws.
