LucidElement Posted September 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Would like to here your thoughts. For those who did or did not know - that only the head of the Sphinx in Egypt was visible through the sand for thousands of years? The body was discovered in the late 1800s. Some believe that the head of the Sphinx which is quite small relative to the body, was originally an Anubis head that was later replaced with a human head by Pharaoh Khafra who built the 2nd pyramid of Giza.. According to the Smithsonian Channel "some archeologists also noticed that the head is to small for the large lions body" & Not all human headed animals of great antiquity are sphinx's. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/videos/category/smithsonian-channel/this-wasnt-supposed-to-be-a-sphinx/ Pretty interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted September 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Is it true that you tickle The Sphinx behind the ear, the secret entrance opens, and there's a Visitor Center with underground multi-storey parking and a KFC? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted September 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I can't find it myself but I know we've had such a thread in the past, perhaps some years ago. It's not new. The Sphinx as Anubis the "theory" of the fringe writer Robert Temple. It's fairly absurd on the face of it. Perhaps more is the case, we've debated this idea in any number of other Sphinx threads, which are none too few. So necause I failed to find the old thread, I have no real cause to close this one. Carry on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on. Thanks KMt, kmt, if the head was visible and seen prior to the 1800s , in your opinion , what stopped individuals earlier from digging further to see if anything was connected to the head ? Why wait till 1800s to search beyond the head just sticking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harte Posted September 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I believe it was known there was more to the statue. It was pointless to dig it out unless someone was going to pony up the money to keep the sand out. Two threads on the subject at the forum: Anubis the Original Sphinx? Was the sphinx supposed to be Anubis? The first one is really old, the second one's last post was two years ago. This site-specific google search turns up two pages of sphinx threads that reference the Anubis angle: sphinx "anubis" site:Unexplained-mysteries.com Harte 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was a God to begin with. I think it was more like a national animal, a spirit animal symbolizing the entire country. Also a symbol of sovereignty. Plus the Sphinx fits within the Golden Ratio. A wolf is one of the best examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you enlarge or redoose it and move it around on the sphinx until you have three or four points you can claim "match." That there's how you does it.

Harte Cemetery is more than likely afterwards. Maybe the cemetery is full of dead invaders?
