The Sphinx Mystery: The Forgotten Origins of the Sanctuary of Anubis
Robert Temple reveals that the Sphinx was originally a monumental Anubis, the Egyptian jackal god, and its head was later re-carved in the likeness of Pharaoh Amenemhet II. Surrounded by a moat--called Jackal Lake in the Pyramid Texts--and containing hidden chambers, the Sphinx was a center for religious ceremonies in ancient times.
