This is not the purpose of the sphinx - Generally the role of sphinxes was as temple guardians; they were placed in association with architectural structures such as royal tombs or religious temples. The great Sphinx is positioned at the Temple of the Sphinx and at the end of the cause way leading from the Funerary Temple of Khafre.

How do you jump to the first symbol on the falling steps in the Sphinx on Nabooti Island?
At the entrance to the Sphinx is a vertical list of 4 hieroglyphics. From bottom to top, they are big-head man, wavy sea, bird, and eye. These indicate the ONLY SAFE BLOCK in each row of blocks in the chamber. Entering the chamber from the rope, jump to the block in the first row that has the big-head man. Do not walk on any other block or it will collapse. Then jump up to the block in the second level that is marked with the "wavy sea" (boat) symbol. Jump up to the block on the third level that has the bird, and finally to the block in the fourth level that has an eye on it. Quickly jump to the solid stone above and climb the rope.(see related question)
