The Sphinx of Giza and The Loch Ness Monster
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
Another Egyptian wonder, the
Sphinx of Giza has the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh, believed by
most to be that of king Khafre. It was carved from soft limestone, and has been
slowly falling apart over the years. A popular theory of the missing nose claims
Napoleon's soldiers shot it off with a cannon in 1798, but early sketches
discovered of the Sphinx without a nose predate Napoleon's rampage.
The Loch Ness Monster According to Scottish folklore, a mystical creature called
a water horse lures small children to a watery grave by tricking them to
ride on its sticky back. The Loch Ness Monster became an English wonder in
1933, after witness accounts made newspaper headlines. No hard evidence of the
creature has ever been recorded with several pictures, including the one above,
being proven as hoaxes.
