Why did egyptians art and architecture often depict animals such as the lion body of the sphinx?
The standard approach is to say that they represent fantastically imaginative gods in the Egyptian pantheon and nothing more than that.

As far as I am aware there have never been found any skeletal remains of such creatures, but that alone doesn't preclude the possibility that they existed.
