What is the name of the Egyptian Sphinx?

Related introduction:

For thousands of years, the Sphinx has been buried in sand to the shoulder, revealing a strange head on the horizon of the Sahara desert. 18 17 years, Genoese explorer captain Giovanni Batista Caviglia led 160 people to dig up the stone statue, but the sand quickly backfilled into the dug bunker, and the first excavation of the Sphinx in modern history failed.

It was not until the late 1930s that Egyptian archaeologist Salim Hassan finally liberated the colossus from the yellow sand, when The New York Times declared: "The Sphinx finally emerged from the impenetrable shadow and became a landmark."

Besides the pyramids, the Sphinx guarded under the three great pyramids is the best symbol of Egypt. The legend of the Sphinx has long been a household name, but it is puzzling who built it. According to the traditional view, the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Hala according to his appearance 4500 years ago, because the name of Pharaoh was engraved on the stone tablet between the two claws of the statue.

However, according to the records of the stone tablet, around BC 1400, Prince Tutankhamun was asked by the God Hulhumo Uhart to dig his statue out of the yellow sand in his dream. In this view, this statue should be the idol of Hull. Other legends also mention that the Sphinx existed as early as the reign of Pharaoh Khufu.

The Sphinx is located in Giza, a suburb southwest of Cairo. A few kilometers to the west from Cairo, we came to Giza, one of the seven ancient architectural wonders in the world. On the east side of the largest pyramid of khufu, there is the Sphinx.
