The Great Sphinx was built in the era of the Fourth Dynasty, the era of the pyramids builders, in the ancient state to be evidence of the spread of the solar religion and the goddess of the idol Ra, the Lord of the Sun and the owner of control and influence extending throughout the ancient Egyptian civilization and to the decline of its star and its entry into oblivion.
The statue of “Abul-Hall” bounces on the Giza Plateau as an essential part of the pyramid collection of King Khafra as an original Egyptian creativity and one of the huge statues in the whole world, as it is about 73.5 meters long and more than 20 meters high.
In the era of the New Kingdom, statues of the “Sphinx” with the head of a ram or head of a falcon spread to the forefront of Luxor and Karnak temples. And King Tuthmosis the Fourth, from the age of the eighteenth family in the modern state, set up a dream painting between the two claws of the statue of Abul-Hall in Giza in order to support his rise to the throne of Egypt based on his fabrication of a story confirming the support of the god to him to become the next ruler of Egypt at that time.
The campaigns led by Tuthmosis the Third to Asia had a great impact on the development of the Sphinx statues, for the first time the victorious Sphinx who trampled his enemies under his feet appeared, and only in this era did the Sphinx abandon his human head and replace it with the head of the legendary dog or the heads of rams such as those at the entrance to the temple Karnak.
The Sphinx not only moved through the ages in Egypt, but moved outside Egypt, due to two reasons. The first is trade relations and the second is the extension of the Egyptian state to its control and influence that reached south of the Anatolian Mountains. Then, a ivory statue of Nimrod appeared in Assyria.
