MANY DETAILS REGARDING the heraldry of the sphinx are still unknown. Thes
creatures varied widely throughout the African continent. In Egypt, there are great statues
of this animal—the sphinx sol, the protector and scourge of Ra, the sun god. Sphinxes are
shown bearing a ram’s head (a criosphinx) or a goat’s head. These species are typically depicted
without wings; I suspect that, like many flightless birds, the sphinx lost its need for flight because of
geographical isolation. This evolution likely occurred before the animal’s arrival in Egypt or Africa;
however, I cannot determine whence it originated.
The famed sphinx of Thebes appears strikingly similar to the specimen in my record. Though few
in number, the species had a developed human mind with an advanced intellect; they were more than
likely fierce and successful predators.
