The Sphinx Enigma Solved.

Psychologists have recently shown
that the Sphinx, the greatest enigma
that has ever perplexed mankind, Is
nothing but a colossal image or por-
trait of Ra- Harmachis. god of the
morning, conqueror of darkness, and
hence 1t faces the rising sun. rms
was recently disclosed by inscriptions
discovered upon the walls of temple
which lies underneath and around the
Sphinx and the discovery was largely
due to Col Ram. an American scholar
who has been engaged for several years
in excavations there. The temple sur
rounding the base was intended for the
Worship of Harmachis and several
chambers hewn in the rock were the
tombs of kings and priests devoted TO
his worship. In 1896 Col Ram discov-
cred a stone cap with a sacred asp car
we'd on the forehead, which once COW
cred the head of the Sphinx like a royal
helmet. The Sphinx is not an inde-
pendent structure. The body and head
are actually hewn out of the solid rock,
but much sandstone masonry was built
in to make the outlines perfect and
cover defects in the material Its age
and origin are yet unknown.
