'Egyptian sphinx' built for film shoot in North China

This photo taken on May 10 shows a real size model of the Great Sphinx of Egypt at a film shoot base in Shijiazhuang city, capital of North China's Hebei province. The structure measures 60 meters in length and 20 meters in height, and visitors can enter through the doors to take a tour inside. But unlike the real Sphinx, which is a stone structure, the copycat has a steel skeleton and a cement shell that is painted to look like the monolith's limestone surface. [Photo/CFP]
