Answer 2

Purpose of the Sphinx

The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, was carved for a specific purpose.

The Sphinx at Giza is believed to have been carved for the Pharaoh Khafre and served as a guardian for the pyramid complex. It is thought to have been constructed around 2500 BCE. The Sphinx was likely intended to symbolize the strength and wisdom of the Pharaoh, as well as to guard the complex from evil spirits and enemies.

The Sphinx's significance in ancient Egyptian culture and its role as a guardian of the pyramid complex make it an important and iconic symbol of ancient Egypt.
