Answer:

The legacy that the Great Sphinx has come to represent is ultimately the result of an endeavor to carve a sculpture out of a single mass of limestone that was exposed when workers were digging into the Giza plateau.

While the 4,500-year-old limestone sculpture is a monument of a scale and scope that few other pieces could ever hope to copy or recreate, the impact it has created for audiences across the eras showcases how such incredible results can come achieved from very humble origin
