The Sphinx is a famous monument in Giza, Egypt.
History
The Sphinx was built by the Pharaoh Khafre in the middle of the 3rd millennium B.C.E. as a monument to himself, depicting himself in the form of a sphinx, a lion with a human head. It ranks alongside the Pyramids as the best-known symbol of ancient Egypt.
Beneath the Sphinx lies a secret underground complex, where the Emir and the Pack summoned Anubis. This was the site of Goliath and his companions' encounter with Anubis, the Emir, and the Pack when they came to Egypt on the Avalon World Tour. Afterwards, the Emir sealed off the complex so that nobody could ever enter it again. ("Grief")
