Lost City Reconstruction: Exterior. M/S of sphinx head (one in the two rows of sphinxes leading to the gates of the Pharoah's City) with the gates to the Pharoah's City in the background. Part of the film set built in the sand dunes near Guadalupe, CA. Built in 1923 by Cecil B DeMille for his film The Ten Commandments, this was the largest film set in movie history at that time. When filming was completed, DeMille ordered that the film set be destroyed. Its remains were finally discovered in the 1980s by film history enthusiasts. This is from Drain the Oceans.

Cyril and the team set out on a mission to help conserve one of South America's last remaining river giants, the rare and dangerous short tailed river stingray, feared by locals for its razor sharp charm laced with agonizing venom. One of the biggest stingray species in the world, the short-tailed river stingray can grow as large as an adult human; over five feet in diameter and weigh over 400 pounds. But despite their massive size, they face many challenges caused by human activity. This is from Wild Fish.
