The Alabaster Sphinx, Cairo, Egypt business sign The spectacle is watched byThe Alabaster Sphinx, Cairo, Egypt, c1920s. The Alabaster Sphinx was carved in honour of an unknown Pharaoh, probably during the eighteenth dynasty (between 1700 and 1400 BC). Although the sphinx does not bear an inscription, the facial features suggest that it was built in honour of Hatshepsut, Amenhotep II or Amenhotep III.
