near it. These cameras are connected to
satellites in order to know what is happening inside the layers of rock in the
statue’s body. This helps identify the weak parts that need same sort of repairing or
the parts that are subjected to splitting. Consequently, a complete perspective is known
about the condition of the statue. This is the most modern international system for
dealing with monuments. It is applied for the first time in Egypt.
These photos are taken by using the heat that the body of the Sphinx absorbs from the sun. Later on this heat comes out of the body in different times. Such heat is always natural but any difference indicates the existence of some weakness.
