Hi, this photo has been mentioned in a discussion thread in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

I think i'm right in saying that this was before the sphinx was excavated a bit (because we can't see its legs) and before it was damaged some more by troops using it as target practice in the war

As seen in 2008

In the matter of the missing nose, take a look here.

"The pyramid was built about 18 BC-12 BC as a tomb for Gaius Cestius Epulo, a magistrate and member of one of the four great religious corporations in Rome, the Septemviri Epulonum."

The pyramid was made of brick layered over concrete and then covered with slabs of white marble standing on a travertine foundation. The pyramid measures 100 Roman feet (22 m) square at the base and stands 125 Roman feet (27 m) high.
