Standing tall and proud, a line of ram-headed sphinxes guards the entrance to the magnificent temple of Rameses II, The Great. Dating back to 1304-1237 BC, this awe-inspiring structure is located in Karnak, an archaeological treasure trove. The image captures the grandeur and mystique that surrounds Ancient Egypt. Each intricately carved sphinx exudes power and symbolism with its regal ram's head atop a lion's body.
