This is a question that puzzles Egyptologists to this day. There are theories as to who the Sphinx was, the current theory is King Khafre (2558-2532 BCE) of the 4th Dynasty The sphinx can be found in Greek, Egyptian and South East Asia (where it is called the Human Beast). The common form is the body of a lion and head of a woman and in some representations winged as well. In Egypt, the sphinx was supposed to be temple guardians. Some Egyptologists have theorised that is why the sphinx was built so close to the Pyramids - it is supposed to act as guardian to the tombs. In other words no one knows for sure.
