Sphinxes were sculptures in ancient Egypt that had the body of a lion and the head of a human, usually a pharaoh. They represented royal power and were often placed along routes to temples. The Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the largest, dates back to around 2500 BC and its head may depict the pharaoh Khafra. Sphinxes also symbolized strength and the afterlife, and sometimes represented gods like Amun during Egypt's New Kingdom period.
