The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx, known as Horus of the Horizon, is an immortal work of art. It honors the power and wisdom of Pharaoh Khafre, who ruled Egypt from 2558 BC to 2532 BC.

The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple is a work of art and divinity. It was made to honor the ancient gods of Egypt by performing the mummification ritual on the royal family of the 4th dynasty. This ritual allowed them to join their rightful place with the gods.
