A Sphinx is a zoomorphic mythological figure which is depicted as a recumbent lion with a human head.
In Indian mythology, Narsimha Bhagavan took Avatar and he was have half Lion and half man. He had to take that Avatra to vanquish an Asura who had declared immortally and could only be killed by such a person who was neither an animal or human so God had to take birth as this creation. That could possibly be what is depicted by the Sphinx. Worship of the Lion God and this again traces the origin of Egyptian civilization back to India and Vedic culture and traditions.
