📋 About This Mod
As Sukritact's Egypt Rework and Necropolis: Unique District for Egypt introduce new unique districts for Egypt and remove the original Sphinx improvement, this mod repurposes the Sphinx model as a World Wonder. "Now the statue of the very great Khepri rested in this place, great of fame, sacred of respect, the shade of Ra resting on him. Memphis and every city on its two sides came to him, their arms in adoration to his face, bearing great offerings for his Ka." - Thutmose IV, Dream Stele The Great Sphinx of Giza is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt, likely dating back to the reign of Khafre in the 26th century BCE. The original shape of the Great Sphinx was cut from a single piece of limestone, featuring a sitting lion with a human face standing 20 metres high and 73 metres from paw to tail. Little is known about the Great Sphinx's status in the Old Kingdom period when it was created, but it is clear that this colossal statue was revered as an icon of Khepri and Hor-em-akhet ("Horus of the Horizon") during the New Kingdom period, as Thutmose IV referred to it as such on the Dream Stele he erected between the Great Sphinx's front paws. In modern times, the Great Sphinx's nose was broken off, and according to a popular myth, it was broken during the French campaign in Egypt by the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. Yet this popular myth was refuted by several illustrations of a noseless sphinx before the birth of Napoleon. Today, the Great Sphinx remains one of the iconic symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization. Great Sphinx of Giza Wonders provide +2 Culture and +2 Faith (including the Great Sphinx of Giza). Quarries provide +2 Faith. May purchase Builders and Monuments with Faith. Must be built adjacent to a Quarry improvement. 1 Relic slot Unlocked at the Masonry technology.
