A photograph of the Roman staircase, probably taken from the head of the Great Sphinx. There is no evidence of the upper flight of stairs recorded by Henry Salt in 1817. Instead a paved pathway leads off towards the east beyond the remains of the small structures recorded by Salt as being at the foot of the most easterly flight of stairs.

An alternative view of the Roman staircase from the south west. The photographer is standing on top of the causeway of Khafre's pyramid. Part of the causeway can be seen in the foreground.

A view of the Roman staircase taken from the south. This photograph in particular clearly illustrates the relationship of the Sphinx to the Roman staircase.

The remnants of the narrow staircase and the Roman period pavement leading up to the Great Sphinx photographed by Mark Lehner in 1979.

The northern side of the platform above and immediately to the east of the Roman staircase. The view is from the south east. It appears to show two levels of flooring, the lower level is possibly contemporary with the New Kingdom structures to the east of the Great Sphinx which are generally constructed of mud brick. Alternatively the lower level may be a foundation level for the upper.

All that remains of the upper level is some finely carved stone that defined the outer edge of the platform. This phase of construction probably dates, and was connected, to the Roman period stone staircase immediately to the east of the Sphinx.

The south eastern corner of the Roman platform viewed from the north west. The two distinct layers of the floor are clearly visible.
