Generally, people will attribute the Sphinx, and the Hafra Pyramid and the surrounding temples to a unified construction plan. The huge limestone sculpture sits east-west, and is depicted as a squatting Sphinx, a legendary animal with a lion's body and a human head, usually thought to be the sphinx's head using the appearance of Hafra. The statue, from claws to tail, is 73 meters long, from the base to the top of the head, and the hip is about 19 meters wide. It is one of the largest and oldest statues in human history.
