The Great Sphinx of Giza is the most recognisable statue in the world - and one of the most mysterious. Even its Western name is misleading, since the monument bears little resemblance to the sphinx of ancient Greek mythology. Conflicting stories about who built it and why have circulated since ancient times. These include tales of what lies inside…

In this episode, Dr Chris Naunton joins Matt Lewis to explore how the Sphinx was likely made; the evidence for who made it; and the many myths that surround it to this day.
