The Sphinx
0
Du har sikkert lagt merke til de fascinerende og flotte steinformasjonene som vi passerer. Dersom du fĂžlger ekstra nĂžye med akkurat nĂ„, sĂ„ vil du snart fĂ„ se noe som egentlig forventes Ă„ ligge 83 timer lenger unna i bil, nemlig en gedigen, men ogsĂ„ litt forunderlig Sfinx, som er noksĂ„ lik den som finnes utenfor Kairo. Den kalles selvfĂžlgelig for Sfinxen, men gĂ„r ogsĂ„ under det klingende navnet «MĂ„sĂžylĂžven». You will definitely have noticed the large fascinating rock formations that we are passing. If you pay extra attention right now, you will soon see something that you would expect to see 83 hours away by car, namely a large and marvellous sphinx, which is quite similar to that found outside Cairo. It is of course called the sphinx, but also goes by the nick name «The MĂ„sĂžy Lion». The figure is made from the most common shale like rock found in the area and was formed after the previous ice age. During the second world war, a family sheltered here from the Nazis for two months. This and other stories that took place during the dramatic war era in Kokelv and the surrounding area, have been collected by the eyewitness Elvine Wiig, in her own book âFluktâ. There is an ongoing quest to find more exotic animals in the rock formations. Many have spotted wolves and foxes, and if you see a pink elephant at sunset, then just shout out.
