This Sphinx is an architectural work, located in Egypt and considered one of the greatest works done by humans, however a legend has been woven around his nose, which if you notice is broken.
The first theory that was created with this loss of the nose, was that climate change and strong winds had eroded the nose, since it was one of the parts that was more exposed to air currents, this theory was not very accepted among scientists, since it is not known for sure in what year it was built.
The second theory explained that the troops of Napoleon Bonaparte used the nose as a target and in one of its practices it was achieved, however this theory was not considered true to obtain several drawings of the English Richard Pococke, years before Napoleon came to Egypt and where already the nose did not exist.
Finally the historian Muhammad al-Husayni Taqi al-Din al-Maqrizi, who in his 15th-century al-Mawa book indicates that the nose was destroyed in 1378 by the Sufi leader Sa'im al-dahr who felt anger and jealousy of the Egyptians will venerate this Sphinx and not him, so he decided one night to send his army and break his nose, however this act cost him his life as the Egyptians, seeing his Sphinx broken, rose up and reached the Royal palace and executed it.
Things in the story ...!
Esta Esfinge es una obra arquitectónica, ubicada en Egipto y considerada una de las mas grandes obras realizadas por el ser humano, sin embargo toda una leyenda se ha venido tejiendo alrededor de su nariz, la cual si te percatas esta rota.
La primera teoría que se creo con esta perdida de la nariz, fue que el cambio climático y los fuertes vientos habían erosionado la nariz, ya que era una de las partes que estaba más expuesta a las corrientes de aire, esta teoría no fue muy aceptada entre los científicos, ya que no se conoce a ciencia cierta en que año fue construida.
La segunda teoría explicaba que las tropas de Napoleón Bonaparte utilizaron la nariz como blanco y en una de sus practicas la misma fue alcanzada, sin embargo esta teoría no fue considerada verídica al obtener varios dibujos del ingles Richard Pococke, años antes de que Napoleón llegase a Egipto y en donde ya la nariz no existía.
Finalmente el historiador Muhammad al-Husayni Taqi al-Din al-Maqrizi, que en su libro al-Mawa del siglo XV indica que la nariz fue destruida en el año 1378 por el líder sufi Sa’im al-dahr quien sentió rabia y celos de los egipcios venerarán a esta Esfinge y no a él, por lo que decidió una noche mandar a su ejercito y romper la nariz, sin embargo este acto le costo la vida ya que los egipcios al ver rota su Esfinge, se alzaron y llegaron al Palacio real y lo ejecutaron.
Cosas de la historia...!
