Sphinxes were built near the pyramids primarily to serve as guardians of the tombs, symbolizing strength and protection. They often embody the fusion of human intelligence and animal strength, reflecting the ancient Egyptians' reverence for both. Additionally, their placement aligns with the religious and cultural significance of the pyramids, enhancing the overall monumental landscape of the necropolis. The Great Sphinx of Giza, in particular, is closely associated with the Pharaoh Khafre, reinforcing the connection between the ruler and the divine.
