40 Well-Known Moments Shown From a Different Perspective

While visiting the Pizza Hut in Giza, you’ll likely be tempted to visit the famous Sphinx. However, there’s a lot more to this mythical creature than what you see from the front. For example, did you know that the Sphinx has a tail? This photographer decided to walk around the Sphinx’s back and discover what there was to see.

The photograph doesn’t show a tunnel inside the Sphinx’s backside. The passage was discovered in the 1920s but then covered over and forgotten until it was rediscovered in 1980. Nobody knows precisely what the tunnel is for, but some theories suggest it is a passage to an unfinished tomb.
