Answers
Explanation:
1 )The monumental pyramids of Ancient Egypt are perhaps the most famous tombs in the world. ... These monumental pyramids built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure housed the royal mummies and their worldly effects thought to protect and be used by the kings in their afterlife.
2 )A Sphinx is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head of a person. In Ancient Egypt a lot of times the head was that of a Pharaoh or a god. Why were they built? The Egyptians built sphinx statues to guard important areas such as tombs and temples.
3 )Each pyramid had a mortuary and valley temple, with a causeway connecting them. They also had smaller pyramids referred to as satellite or queens' pyramids. The Sphinx, an enigmatic monument usually associated with king Khafre, stands watch near his valley temple.
