It's hard to imagine the Sphinx completely buried in sand, but it was, along with the other amazing structures in the surrounding areas.  In the background is a pyramid buried as well. It's pictures like this that partly inspired me to write TheKey Chronicle and makes me feel like there are more discoveries waiting to be discovered underground.  We just need to keep looking. :)

Luckily, not too many annoying kids around and my iPod is stocked with podcasts.
