1) The Sphinx

The Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous statue in Africa and is an icon of Egyptian culture and a testament to their achievements. It resides on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile River and faces east. It dates to the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt, although the exact date of its construction is uncertain. The head of the Great Sphinx is now believed to be that of the pharaoh Khafra.
