In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis is significant in relation to the Sphinx because he is often depicted as the guardian of the underworld and the protector of the dead. The Sphinx, with its lion body and human head, is believed to represent the pharaoh as a powerful and wise ruler. Anubis's association with death and the afterlife adds a spiritual dimension to the Sphinx's symbolism, emphasizing the importance of the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife and the role of Anubis in guiding and protecting them in this journey.
