because I love learning new things about history; this essay is killing two birds with one stone, I get to learn more about two historic structures and write about them. I will be comparing these two art pieces through descriptive, interpretive, and evaluative criticism; by the end I will have told you everything that you could hope to know about these structures. Works of Art The Sphinx and the Pyramid of Cheops (pg. 103, Figure 5-6) were built around 2850 BCE during the fourth dynasty in Egypt;
