  Attributed to King Chephren, the Sphinx is the world's largest statue, towering at 73 meters in length, 19 meters in width, and 20 meters in height. As the oldest known monumental sculpture, it holds a significant historical value. In Arabic, it is referred to as "Abu Al Hol," and this remarkable creation, depicting a man with the body of a lion, has come to be known as the Sphinx.
