The Sphinx of Giza was originally known as "Horemakhet," which translates to "Horus in the Horizon." This name reflects its association with the sun god Horus and its position on the Giza plateau, facing the rising sun. The Sphinx was believed to serve as a guardian of the nearby pyramids and the burial sites of pharaohs.
