{"product_id":"sphinx-8","title":"Sphinx","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was the Sphinx for, and what is the Sphinx?\u003cbr\u003eThe Sphinx's body is not a lion, but another creature.\u003cbr\u003eThe head was re-carved, and the Pharaoh's face can\u003cbr\u003enow be identified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a burial chamber inserted beneath the waist of\u003cbr\u003ethe Sphinx. 280 years' worth of published accounts of eye\u003cbr\u003ewitnesses who saw the chamber, all of them published here\u003cbr\u003ein full, prove its existence. It was sealed with cement in 1926.\u003cbr\u003eThe story of the Middle Kingdom pharaoh who uncovered\u003cbr\u003ethe Sphinx was still being told by the locals in 1482, as\u003cbr\u003erecorded by a Dutch visitor. This is the longest recorded survival\u003cbr\u003eof folklore in world history, a tale which survived with its essential\u003cbr\u003efacts intact for three thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nile in ancient times lapped near the feet of the Sphinx,\u003cbr\u003eand the Sphinx was like an island surrounded by water\u003cbr\u003efilling 'the Sphinx Pit' where it sits now. The photographic\u003cbr\u003eevidence of sluices for controlling the inflow of the water\u003cbr\u003eare published. The water erosion is fully explained.\u003cbr\u003eEvidence published here proves that the Sphinx is part of a\u003cbr\u003eunified design with the three main pyramids of Giza. It was\u003cbr\u003e'the guardian' of Giza. The three pyramids and the Sphinx\u003cbr\u003ewere all conceived as a single complex.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sphinx was originally a crouching figure of the dog\u003cbr\u003egod Anubis, traditionally the guardian of the dead in ancient\u003cbr\u003eEgypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery published account of the Sphinx from Roman times\u003cbr\u003eto 1837 is published in the back of the book, most translated\u003cbr\u003efrom foreign languages. These were collected over many\u003cbr\u003eyears and are now gathered into one place.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sphinx was part of a sacred resurrection cult based\u003cbr\u003eupon the rising sun at the equinox.","brand":"Eglantyne Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57257050669400,"sku":"9781913378158","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sphinx-8","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
