Building a Sphinx
The Sphinx at Giza
Haven't you ever wondered how this gigantic Cat may have been build? Find out in 1 Paragraph below!
The Sphinx:
We build the Sphinx of Giza by following the instructions with a few changes. We started with a 6” X 8” piece of cardboard. Then, we built a rough rectangle/oval by gluing on sugar cubes. Next, we filled in the rectangle. Then, we built up the body by doing this process over and over--until we had a body that was 4 sugar cubes tall. We also created arms that stuck out. Then, we made a head that was 3 sugar cubes tall and 1/3 the width of the body on top of the body. Lastly, we got a picture of the Sphinx’s head and glued it on. It took about 2 hours and 3 boxes of sugar cubes (about 594 sugar cubes, each ½” X ½” X ½”). One major difference between our Sphinx and the real Sphinx is the size, weight, and the fact that the real Sphinx was carved out of stone. Unfortunately, we couldn't carve a Sphinx! It is probably suicide to try to carve a block of sugar cubes, or for that matter, a block of sugar.
