Massive Props Were Used
Four 35-foot Pharaoh statues, 110-foot gates, eight lions, an Egyptian temple, and, of course, 21 sphinxes were reportedly built by over 1,600 people.
It Was A Strange Sphinx
The set was one of the largest and most expensive ever built at the time. It stood 12 stories tall and 800 feet wide and was constructed with 25,000 nails and 250 tons of plaster. The strangest aspect of all was the way the sphinx heads were decorated.
