Carved during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC), it represents wisdom, strength, and the eternal legacy of Egypt's Pharaohs. The Sphinx also features the Thutmose IV Dream Stele between its paws, a remarkable artifact from Egypt's ancient history.

Built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC), the Valley Temple served as a site for the purification and mummification of the royal family. This sacred temple played a key role in preparing Egypt's elite for the afterlife.
