Californian Archaeologists Unearth A Not So Ancient Egyptian Sphinx Californian Archaeologists Unearth A Not-So-Ancient Egyptian Sphinx Archaeologists recently unearthed a curious artifact in California: An Egyptian sphinx. Unlike the Great Sphinx of Giza, which was made of bedrock, this sphinx was made from plastic. And it wasn't carved by the ancient Egyptians, but molded by designers on the set of Cecil B. DeMille's 1923 biblical film The Ten Commandments.
