The Sphinx sits at the front of the entrance to the pyramids. It’s a statue with a lion’s body (symbolizing strength) with the head of a pharaoh (symbolizing wisdom). This is how all of the pharoah’s wanted to be remembered. I was surprised at the amount of attention the Pharaoh’s spent on planning and thinking of the afterlife during their actual life. As soon as they're named Pharaoh, they begin building their tomb (e.g. - a pyramid).
