The Tomb entry includes amazing works: a stone arch, an open Portal and two headless - wingless Sphinxes. In front of the Sphinxes [also called Chimera] there was a barrier wall of limestone blocks protecting the entry of this vast tomb. This protective wall concealed the tomb entry and the two guardian Sphinx figures.
