There was no pharaoh, but a legend associated with the Sphinx. Its written that there was a legendary creature which used to ask a riddle as entry ticket to the passage to a temple.
When the person could not answer the riddle, it used to kill the passer. The riddle was what walks on 4 legs in dawn, 2 in afternoon, 3 in evening and 4 in night.
Once a younger and more intelligent, person asked a riddle with the same power to the Sphinx after answering the set common riddle of its.
The embarrassment of knowing the answer, turned the legendary creature into stone.
