The People Who Built the Sphinx

(The Sphinx Guarding the Great Pyramids)
Did you know that it took over 20,000 people to build the Great Sphinx of Giza??!!  Imagine this...waking up before dawn, working in 100 degree weather for like 12 hours straight, then going home at dusk to sleep for some 5 hours?  Can you believe that?!  Surprisingly enough, the Great Sphinx of Giza was actually a tomb to some kings!  Can you imagine being burried in a place that is supposed to stop people from robbing the pyramids?
