Large Egyptian Sphinx Statue

An Egyptian Sphinx has the head of a man with the face of a pharaoh, a ram, or a hawk. It has the body, legs, and tail of a lion. Ancient Egyptians put the sphinx in front of pyramids to guard the tombs inside. The Riddle of the Sphinx If someone walks by the sphinx, it would ask them a riddle, "What has one voice, and yet goes from four legs, to two legs, to three legs?" The answer is a man (he uses four legs when he is a baby crawling on his hands and knees, two legs as an adult walking, and three legs when he is old and uses a cane). If the person answered the riddle incorrectly, the sphinx would eat them. If the person answered the riddle correctly, they would be allowed to pass.
