The mysterious sphinx
The Great Sphinx in Giza is a mythical creature with the body of a lion (the power) and the head of a human being (the prudence). It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in all of Egypt and is generally believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (approx. 2558-2532 BC). It lies on the eastern side of the Chafre pyramid and is directed directly from west to east, which is why it was later considered to be the embodiment of the sun god (Hour Am Achet). The Sphinx has been the guardian of the pyramids since its inception.
