Lezi zithombe zasendulo, ezindala kakhulu kunedolobha ngokwalo ku-Neva, - ama-Sphinxes ekhoneni leYunivesithi. Iminyaka yabo, ngokusho kososayensi, ineminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezintathu nengxenye.

Ngokuphelele, kunezithombe eziyishumi nane ezinjalo edolobheni. Kodwa ama-Sphinxes e-University embankment ayedume kakhulu. Ayaziwa nje kuphela phakathi kwezivakashi ezivakashela umuzi ngenjabulo enkulu, kodwa nezakhamuzi zaseSt. Petersburg.

I-Sphinxes ekhoneni leYunivesithi eyayitholakala, yatholwa ngo-1820 ngesikhathi kuvuzwa umuzi waseThebes, owawuqhutshwa uhambo oluholwa ngumdume wezidumi waseGreece uJanis Atonazis ngemali yeBritish Consulate. Ngokusho kolwazi olutholakalayo, lezi zithombe ezimbili ezivelele, ezenziwe nge-pink granite, zazingasogwini olusentshonalanga yeNayile ngaseColossi yaseMemnon futhi zimelela "umlindi" ethuneni likaFaro Aminhotep III, owabusa i-Upper ne-Lower Egypt. Ngenxa yokuthi izimali zanikezwa iBrithani, uJanni (isiteketiso sososayensi) iningi lezinto ezitholakele kufanele linikezwe emhlanganweni we-Consul waseBrithani kuleli zwe - uHenry Salt. Lapho futhi siqondise ama-sphinxes ethu. Usawoti wathutha izithombe eziya e-Aleksandria, eduze naso ngasogwini lolwandle, lapho zibonwa khona iqhawe leMpi Napoleonic ka-1812 ngu-Andrei Muraviev, owatshela uNicholas ngokushesha ukuthi udinga ukuthenga izifanekiso. IYurophu ngalezo zinsuku yayithathwa yi-Egyptology, ngakho kwakungekho nzima ukukhohlisa i-autocrat. Ngokomyalelo wombusi ovela kumgcinimafa wabelwa ama-ruble ayizinkulungwane ezingu-64, kanti ama-sphinxes athengwa. Ngo-May 1832, emkhunjini okhethekile wokuzivikela, bathunyelwa eSt. Petersburg, inhloko-dolobha.

Ekuqaleni, kwakungekho ukuthi ama-sphinxes ekukhoneni kweYunivesithi ayeyohlobisa umuzi, bekufanele kube neminye imidwebo - amahhashi eKlodt. Kodwa ngesinqumo somklami uK. Ton, owaklama ukukhonjwa, ngo-1834 izisekelo ezikhethekile ezilinganiselwe amathani angu-23 ngayinye ngayinye eyakhiwa kuwo, okwakuyizithombe eziyisikhombisa ezingama-tani zaseGibhithe. Kamuva ku-pedestal ngayinye kwabhalwa umbhalo onolwazi oluphathelene nabo.

I-Sphinx iyinkolelo yamanga. Ingonyama enekhanda lomuntu. I-Sphinx ngayinye e-University Embankment iyimmeleli emihle yesibindi sesibindi, ukuhlakanipha nesithunzi, yiziphi lezi zilwane.

Ngentanyeni yesithombe kukhona imigqa eyisithupha yemigqa, ebuye ibe uphawu lwemandla. Esifubeni sakhe - i-medallion ngegama eliqoshiwe elithi Aminhotep III.
