 * I think the people that destroyed the Sphinx's nose are so bad ! The Sphinx is a god of the ancient Egyptians, how can they do that? I think that the Sphinx is so big and long, expecialy the paws in the front, 50 feets long,WOW! **
 * I think the paw at the back that was built by the modern Egyptians look so strange with the old Sphinx's colour, the new one is white, but the old one is light brown, so strange! I also want to know what are the pictures and picture-writings about between the two paws in the front.^^ (Eunice Ng) **
 * I think the Ancient Egypt people was so clever,they can make a very big things,such as pyramid and Spinx...How can they built it?But they destroyed the god,Spinx nose.i think the Spinx is very beautiful and big,i want to know the picture-writing on the two paw at the front.IT IS SO STRANGE!!(Thomas Wong) **

Sphinx is the sun god,his job is to protect the pyramid.He have a human face and a lion form.I think he is a good god,but there have story say that when the people see Sphinx,he will ask you a question,if you can't answer the question,then he will eat you.(Timothy Yau) === I ﻿think the ancient egyptian is very clever ,because at that time,not many people can build the big building,but they can.And they had very good Imagine.P.S. I read the book about the ancient Egypt,the book said why they need to build the sphinx,because at the front of the pyramid,there have a small mountain,so the people build the sphinx.(Alvin) === ===  I think the people in Ancient Egypt must be either very clever or very strong. Or else how can they built the great Sphinx of Giza? I think we must protect the sphinx because we can learn some methods the egptians use to improve our technology. Anyway, can it really protect the pharaohs? A website about the sphinx: http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/sphinx1.htm by Karen Tse ===

The people in are very strong. They could manage to build such a big sphinx like that! But it's really sad to see the Sphinx break apart. The nose has came off, the paint has peeled off........All because the earth has to much pollution! So to me, I think that this passage has not just told us what the Spinx is, but also secretly tells us to SAVE THE EARTH. Christy :]

I feel very surprise that the people in ancient egypt had such big power to build that enormous sphinx ! I think they were so clever. They knew they didn't had power to pull the rock up, so they us tools to help them. Everyone feel sad about the broken nose of the sphinx including me. I wondered who broke the nose. Bacause if the ancient egyptians broke the nose in accident, they would be punished of course, so poor.( Fiona Chau)

I think the Spinx of Giza is soo mysterious with soo many mysteries about the Spinx. I hope we can solve all the myteries of the spinx and know more about AE. I think the spinx looks really strange with the missing nose, beard (they claimed there was one in the passage), small head and the long paws. If I was the guy who built the spinx, I would very likely rebuilt it as soon as it was finished. Its such a shame that the paint on the spinx pealed off. If it hasn't we would know a lot more about AE for sure. And I am really curious about the unfinished back paw, I wonder what stopped that Egyptians from finishing it. Pui Pui

I think the Spinx is so boring because I can't play with it and it just standing there! I don't think that it is mysterious,to me. But the Egyptians are hard working. Maybe if they tell me the secrets of the Spinx I will be interested in it. But now, I just don't even want to think about this boring thing!!!!! [Noni]
