Snow on sphinx for the first time in 112 years...

"A picture of egypt’s sphinx covered in snow went viral this weekend, as reports spread of the first snowfall in the north african country in over 112 years. the widely shared photos are actually of a miniature replica of the egyptian monument at the tobu world square theme park in japan."

@Meanderer , I loved the PhotoShop Surgeon video of the Statue of Liberty that you posted in the Facts thread. I checked out his channel. He has this one of a mummy I thought you would enjoy.

Queen Tiye, the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III, brought back to life based on her 3,400 year old mummy. She was mother of Akhenaten and grandmother of Tutankhamun, famously known as King Tut.

I agree with @Dustbunny. This work is amazing. I especially am interested in the Sphinx, at least that one that remains. This only thing I wonder about.... it seems the original had pupils in it's eyes, but the recreation does not. I wonder why.

Thanks @RadishRose . This is wonderful to watch, isn't it? I am like you, I wonder about why no eyes on the Sphinx. Then there is another mummy.
