If you can't guess, the sphinx will eat people. If you guess, the Sphinx will die. The main function is to protect the pyramids from being destroyed by others. However, there are different versions of this legend. Some ask about the number of stars and sands, and the Sphinx will not die. However, their functions are similar, and they all guard the mysterious and ancient pyramids.
Some historians believe that the Sphinx was built by Khufu's son. During the reign of Khufu, pyramid of khufu was established, but after his death. His son built a sphinx in his own image to commemorate him. The purpose is to control the people at that time with theocracy and myth their own rule. In fact, there are many similar things in China. In ancient tribal times, almost every tribe had a totem, and the lords of each tribe had a fairy tale. For example, the fairy tales of Yan Di, Huangdi and Nu Wa are all familiar to us.
