Egyptian Guardian
Does the Great Sphinx of Egypt portray reference to any evil?
I know its whole purpose was to enact as a “guardian for its nation” but I read from somewhere that it was actually a reincarnation of an Egyptian (king, I think?) named Urizen who became a sphinx and broke out 2000 years later to pursue revenge and destruction upon the world for cursing him into the statue. Is this story even true though? It’s really confusing me and I’m really interested to know about its true meaning and history. Can someone so care to explain it for me please? Thank you so much.
It is generally thought to be a portrait of the Pharaoh Khafre (also known by the hellenised version of his name, Chephren), which would place its construction in the Fourth Dynasty (2723 BC—> 2563 BC).
Some say that it was built after the pyramid of Chephren was complete. It may have been set as a sort of scarecrow to guard his tomb. Still others say it is the face of his guardian deity, rather than Chephren himself.
Other theories exist. In 2004, French Egyptologist Vassil Dobrev announced the results of a 20-year re-examination of historical records and uncovering of new evidence that suggest the Great Sphinx is the work of a forgotten Pharaoh named Djedefre, Khafre’s half brother and a son of Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid. He suggests it was built by Djedefre in the image of his father Khufu, identifying him with the sun god Ra in order to restore respect for their dynasty.
