Time Passes Slowly in the Shadow of the Sphinx

[Athos]

The stone beast's shadow takes shape as great pharaoh observes the stone carver's progress on his great monument and enslaved workers toil under the overlord's harsh whip in 2547 B.C.

Millennia later, a refugee from a failed crusade camps in the shadow of the Sphinx while the ostriches cautiously watch the interloper, in 1191 A.D.

As the modern age dawns, the ancient enigma casts is shadow over an archaeological expedition seeks to uncover its mysteries, in 1932 A.D.

Nice! I love the evolution from built to being discovered! The shape of the Sphinx is also quite appropriate... I like the excessive use of tan parts.

Somehow I have a soft spot for desert MOCs.

Cheers!

Excellent creation Athos! The evolution of the Sphinx is very well conveyed in these three builds. I love the first one with the Sphinx just starting to be built. Great job and good luck!

Great work Athos! All of the three build are each excellent, but I particualrly like the first one where the Sphinx is starting to be built.

Very well done.
