This is one of my favorite brief short stories in my Echoes of the Mind's Eye collection that tries to explain both the original nature and purpose of the Great Sphinx of Giza before it was defaced by a megalomaniacal pharaoh carving his image out of the original lion's face and mane. the truth is finally revealed by the world's most famous Egyptologist in prime time to a world-wide audience.
