Looks more like it should, with the walls around the pyramid and the causway.
Work in progress on the head of the Spynx... After all, I have severe doubts that it was a human head when it was first created.
I assume this is someone's creation, since Photography was not around back in the day.. ? It would have been considered crude...
Do you have a larger version ? in colour..

I prefer the David Roberts paintings myself from the 1830's.
This one is my favourite though from the Esna Temple
We have a 2nd Edition lithograph of this one that we managed to snatch at a bargain in an auction 4 years ago. It graces our wall along with some of the other David Robert prints we picked up at what was the Etap about 12 years ago.

The Sphinx has big ears, Like Tut' and Akhenaton.. 
Usually, men have to be in their late 60's and early seventies until the ears start to get bigger..
I love David Roberts pictures.
I woudl like to think that he used "Artistic Licence" regarding the bright vivid colours he used on the pictures of Luxor temple. Maybe the colours have faded that badly in the 150 years or so... 
Can you make your Picture any bigger Doc ' ??

After extensive research, I've found the earliest colour photo of the pyramids, taken by the Atlanteans 12,500 years ago, soon after the completion of the project.

It's a great picture, I love that style but the water from the enclosure walls, went down to the Nile Via a causeway. and not directly into the Nile..
Not sure about the Black Sun either. One Sun = One heart. that's how the game of Life works..
One more thing, The Moon is in the Southern hemisphere for a reason. That reason is why you and most of the land in the Northern hemisphere are not under water right now. Clever idea..
The Causeway was bent to the south, because that great big pussy cat was in the way. At least they had respect for the cat and left it in place, and worked around it. Egyptians loved cats.. Makes you wonder why they would hold an animal in such high esteem.. I would have thought..
