Few are unfamiliar with the great sphinx found at the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Found in both Egypt and the Greco-Roman myth, the Egyptian sphinx was a beast with a lion’s body and, quite often, the head of the ruling Pharaoh or Queen. They were defenders of the lands and represented the power of the rulers themselves. This image of the Sphinx of Giza guards the necropolis of Memphis and ensures that all buried there are protected in the afterlife.
