Stand in front of the Great Sphinx at night and something feels off. The head looks like it was set down on a much larger animal, a body seventy-three meters long under a face that seems almost too modest for it. Nearly everyone who has studied the statue agrees that something about its proportions is unusual. Almost no one agrees on why.

Settle in, get comfortable, and drift off while we explore one of the ancient world's strangest mysteries.
