Description
This lavishly illustrated, bilingual English and Arabic volume tells the story of the Sphinx from earlier period to the current, focusing particularly at the task – first addressed in the second one millenium BC – of preserving it. Published to mark the completion of an important brand new restoration project, the book is a useful and fascinating document, a testimony not only to the abilities of the individuals who built the Sphinx, but to people who have maintained and renewed it down the ages.
