The Great Sphinx and the Sphinx
The Sphinx is believed to date back to the reign of Khafra. This point is acknowledged by the sphinx's position relative to the complex complex of Khafra's Pyramid, and a similar resemblance to the facial structure of his statues. The Great Sphinx of Giza can be depicted as the guardian of the pyramid of Khafra, and is a symbol of royal power. It was deified under the New Kingdom.[8]
