Carved out of the natural bedrock and enlarged with blocks of limestone, this enormous statue of a recumbent lion with a human head is the largest surviving sculpture from the ancient world. It is also the earliest colossal sculpture the Egyptians erected, so old that for much of history the Egyptian Pharaohs knew not from when it came, and themselves worshipped it as a God. It is generally accepted that the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre (c. 2575—2465 BC) during the Old Kingdom, the age of the great pyramid builders. What was the Sphinx? The original purpose of the Sphinx is unknown.

Cryptogram Assistant This is a JavaScript 1.2 implementation of a letter-pair replacement solver, also known as a substitution cipher. This is the kind of puzzle where A is N, B is O, C is P, etc. It can also be called a cryptoquip or a cryptogram in the local newspaper. To use it, you just define a "key" and the letters in the upper part will be translated and shown in the lower part. This is only a tool to help you out – it can not automatically solve the puzzle for you. In a related vein, you can check out the ROT13 encoder which swaps letters from the first half of the alphabet with the second half (and vice versa), or the Caesar cipher where you essentialy "slide" the alphabet over to the left or right. Result: Keyed Caesar alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 Or a decode alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789
