Why did Egyptian art and architecture often depicit animals such as the lion body of the sphinx?
There are several theories as to why the ancient Egyptians worshiped gods that were part animal, although the truth remains a mystery. One theory is that animals were so integral to the well being and culture of ancient Egyptians that they imagined the gods to be part animal. Another theory is that the animal aspect of the gods represented character traits that the gods had, such as the wisdom and vision of the falcon that was attributed to the sun god Ra.
