Riddle of The Sphinx

The mighty Sphinx of Egypt has had many different views; however, it has one well-known story. The Sphinx is carved out of a single stone, in fact, the only parts that are limestone are the face as well as the hind legs. It faces the east and was carved roughly around 2500 BC. The Sphinx has a riddle to answer for travelers that is equally important as its duties. During a travelers quest, one must answer The Riddle of The Sphinx, which is “What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?” If the traveler answered correctly, he may pass, but on the other hand, if answered incorrectly, he would be killed.
