Sphinx sheds tears of joy on Obama win…
Birds resting on the face of the world famous Sphinx of Egypt

The above photo shows birds resting on the face of the world famous Sphinx of Egypt. If these birds nests on its head, or use it constantly as a potential resting place, their acidic droppings will pose a threat to the monument as they will have an erosive impact on the fragile stone. Experts warn that the cause maybe rising groundwater level, as water seeping into the stone and creating calcium deposits may explain why the monument is attracting an increasing number of birds.

This is really sad… We risk potentially losing a monument which is 5000 over years old and goes all the way back to the earliest days of the human race’s recorded history. Had I been ignorant, I would have thought that the monument was a tribute to Michael Jackson, since it has apparently also lost its nose.
