Step-by-step explanation:

40. The Egyptians usually erected Obelisks in pairs at the entrance of their temples, and were associated to the Sun God. They were usually carved from a single rock and had a pyramidal top wich was often covered with gold, or a gold and silver alloy called electrum, in order to catch the first rays of the morning light, representing the illuminating and life giving power of the creator, the Sun.

41. The Great Sphinx of Giza is the largest and most famous sphinx, and is located on the Giza plateau, close to the Great Pyramids of Giza to the west of the Nile river.

42. Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the XVIII Dynasty of Egypt. She was the second confirmed female pharaoh. She declared herself pharaoh, ruling for over 20 years, and portraying herself in statues and paintings with a male body and false beard, which represents the power of the pharaoh.
