In the context of ancient Egyptian mythology and literature, the Sphinx is often depicted as a guardian of sacred spaces, posing riddles to those who approach. While it may have instilled fear in those who dared to challenge it, there is no definitive historical evidence that suggests it specifically scared robbers. However, its imposing presence and the mysteries surrounding it likely deterred some from attempting to loot tombs or sacred sites. Generally, the Sphinx symbolized protection rather than fear.
