A Sphinx thought to belong to a Roman emperor unearthed in Egypt
Egyptian archaeologists have found a sphinx they think belongs to the Roman empire near the Temple of Hathor, an ancient site.
The sphinx found is very special. The reason for this is that it has a smiling face and two dimples. This sphinx made of limestone is very fascinating.
A lot of discoveries have been made in Egypt lately. This discovery is the last of them.
This stylized sphinx is thought to have belonged to Claudius, a Roman emperor. It was found in a two-story tomb near the Hathor Temple where the study was conducted.

Roman emperor Cadius is the fourth emperor of the Roman period. He ruled from January 24, 41, until his death in 54. One of his important features is that he was the first Roman emperor born outside of Italy.
In addition to the stylized sphinx, a Roman stele was found, which could shed light on the identity of the ruler when deciphered.
What is the importance of the sphinx in the Egyptian empire?
The Sphinx is shaped as a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human.
This building, which served as a spiritual guard, was often depicted as a man with a pharaoh headdress.
For example, a road filled with sphinxes was built protecting the temples of Luxor and Karnak.
In a few museums, there are sphinxes dedicated to female pharaohs.
These structures, which have so many mysteries, are still waiting to be solved
