BEIJING – A replica of Egypt’s Sphinx built in north China that caused controversy will be dismantled, said builders of the structure.
A source with Egypt’s ministry of antiquities told Xinhua the ministry had complained to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization about the Chinese imitation.
“We are very respectful to world cultural heritage and express our apologies for any misunderstanding,” said the official, who declined to be named.
The official said they did not intend to copy the Sphinx to make money from it.
The replica, about 80 meters long and 30 meters tall, is made of steel bars and cement. –QNA
