EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning alabaster sculpture depicts the enigmatic Sphinx of Memphis, a magnificent masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art. Dating back to the 18th Dynasty, around 1700 to 1400 BC, this sculpture is believed to have honored one of the powerful pharaohs of that era - Hatshepsut, Amenhotep II, or Amenhotep III. The Sphinx was strategically placed, flanking the southern entrance of the Temple of Ptah, the god of crafts and creation, in the ancient city of Memphis. The Sphinx is a symbol of power and wisdom, with the body of a lion and the head of a human or a god. In Egyptian mythology, the Sphinx was often associated with the sun god, Ra, and was believed to guard the entrance to the sun god's temple. This particular Sphinx's serene expression and intricately carved features showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The alabaster material, prized for its beauty and durability, adds to the sculpture's allure and timeless appeal. The Mit Rahina Open Air Museum in Memphis, Egypt, is now the home of this magnificent piece of history. A visit to this museum offers a unique opportunity to witness the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and marvel at the intricacies of its art and mythology.
