It haves a lion body to be the defender of the egyptians piramids
No the Egyptians actually did not worship the Sphinx. The Sphinx was put in front of a pharoh's pyramid to protect the pharoh's ka. (The ka is the spirit of the pharoh, and the body must remain intact for the ka to recognize its body) The pyramid was the son of Khufu's. (I can't remember the son's name) Khufu was a pharoh.
The sphinx was a very prominent figure in ancient Egyptian mythology, a creature that had the body of a lion but the head of a human. (Other variations on its features existed, but these two parts were essential.) The Egyptians viewed the sphinx as generally benevolent, but intimidating in strength.
A sphinx is the body of a lion.
The Great Sphinx of Giza [The Sphinx], represents the body of a cat-like warrior, they were called "Tphun-dor Khaqtz" by the ancient Egyptians, translating in English to "THUNDER-CATS". The Sphinx is believed to be their leader, "Lion O", who saved the Egyptians from Nazi Zombies that sought out vengeance for the Egyptians calling them "Big stinky poo-poo heads". About 400 years after the statue was built, somebody blew a big hot fart on it, and the nose blew off. It is ancient folk-lore that Der Fuhrer himself was indeed the hot-fart blower.
The body of the Sphinx was discovered during the New Kingdom of Egypt, around the time of Pharaoh Thutmose IV (1400-1390 BC). Thutmose IV is credited with uncovering and restoring the Sphinx during his reign.
The Egyptians were worried that the body would decay really fast, so they started to mummify/preserve the dead. The Egyptians also strongly believed in the afterlife, so they buried their dead with things they believed they might need in the afterlife.
