A mysterious sphinx has been discovered during roadwork in the Egyptian city of Luxor…

Ah. That's where I left it.

That's why you ended up riding that Assyrian Lammasu, it's your own fault. Although I understand you get good mileage?

Name them Leon and Michael…wait, that's Spinks. Never mind.

Is there any other kind of Sphinx than mysterious?

Stryderg14 Aug 2018 8:18 a.m. PST

The first one is mysterious, this one is just sneaky.
Winston, I hope you have the keys or registration papers to show the locals that it's yours.

She comes when I call her. Him. It's …. complicated.
I call her "Skippy".
No need for papers. Who would want to argue with a Sphinx?

I don't understand why no pictures, if they are encouraging tourists to go see it.

PS. Perhaps this is what it looks like:

Yeah. I've seen a few articles, and no pictures in any of them.
Could it be that……?

It is one of the small ones like those lining the temple pathway. Not like the big one.

That's what I'm thinking too. And there are hundreds of those still around, perhaps thousands.

So maybe this is more of a Department of Tourism stunt. To know what it looks like, you must first pay for your trip and get there.
