A
picture of Egypt's Sphinx covered in snow went viral yesterday, as
reports spread of the first snowfall in the North African country
for 112
years.
But according
to Buzzfeed, the widely
shared photos
are actually of a miniature replica of the Egyptian monument at the
Tobu World Square theme park in Japan.
The
pictures were originally posted to social website Reddit early this
morning, and quickly went viral on Twitter and Facebook.
But
soon afterward, users noticed the area surrounding the ancient statue
didn't match pictures of the real Sphinx - and that the
tip of the Eiffel Tower appeared
to be visible in the background.
The
1/25 scale model is part of a series of detailed miniature replicas
of global landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Tower Bridge and the
Empire State Building.
More
pictures from Egypt which appeared online yesterday, showed Cairo and
Alexandria waking up to its first snowfall in more than a century.
