Sphinx Temple of Giza, Ancient ruins at Giza plateau, Egypt.
The limestone Sphinx Temple contains granite blocks and features architectural elements connecting it directly to the Valley Temple complex at its eastern side.
Archaeological evidence suggests the temple construction occurred during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, around 2500 BCE, under the reign of Pharaoh Khafre.
The temple served as a ceremonial center where ancient Egyptians conducted rituals and made offerings to honor the Sphinx as a representation of royal power.
Visitors enter the temple area through a designated pathway from the eastern side, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The temple structure incorporates twenty-four pillars in its courtyard, aligned precisely with astronomical calculations related to solar movements.
