Eva Kongshavn / 5,911 items
The Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world.

I think the statue must have moved recently, I found him here, in Norway 😆

A religious rebel by the name of Mohamed Sa'm al-Dahr was maybe responsible for destroying the nose, he was later executed for vandalism.

Of course, the nose could have been simply damaged by weather and corrosion.
