Factual error: The scene in front of the Sphinx shows the Sphinx without a nose. The nose was not missing until much later - most likely due to vandalism in AD 1378. (The story about Napoleon's soldiers shooting it off is untrue - sketches made in 1738 and published in 1757 show the nose was already missing, long before Napoleon's time).
