If you ask me, it’s a strange place to find the
missing head of one of the sphinxes guarding the entrance to the Kasta Hill's tomb: inside the third chamber!
No explanation is put forward to explain why this
head is discovered 15 cm
from the threshold of the third chamber, together with fragments of its wings.
Your guess is as good as mine …
However, the head that closely resembles the head of the caryatids, is intact with a minimal scratch on the nose. It belongs
to the sphinx on the eastern side of the entrance and is 60 cm high. The marble shows
traces of red in the curly hair that is tied together with a white stripe.
The third chamber measures 4.5 x 6 meters and the archaeologists hope to clear the entire room very soon. We are still holding our breath!
