The Sphinx of Giza is a symbol that has represented the essence of Egypt for thousands of years. Even with all of the pictures that we see of the Sphinx, nothing can really prepare you for the time that you finally see the Sphinx with your own eyes. Here's a look at the Sphinx that will give you a hint of what you can expect to see if you visit Egypt

In Abu simbel temple the rays of the sun penetrate into the temple
and lightening the three statues for Ramses II and Amon twice a year; once in February 22 celebrating agriculture and cultivation season, and the second in October 22 celebrating flooding season. Both dates also reflect the date of Ramses II birth and his coronation
, There are 4 seated in the back of the temple. Ra-Horakhty, Ramses second, Amun-Ra and Ptah. The light never hits Ptah as he is a god affiliated with the underworld.
