transparent gif The Egyptians believed their pharaohs were descendants of Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, the gods who came to earth from the star system Sirius. They built the sphinx to honor Horus, and his divine parents, much longer ago than is now popularly accepted. The original name of the sphinx was “Horus on the Horizon”, and once a year, when the star Sirius crests the horizon of earth, the light from the star shines directly between the sphinx's paws. Many people believe the head was originally a lion. There are ancient writings that describe it as such, and the head now is one third too small for the body. It is thought that the present face is of a pharaoh who had the lion head shaved away and replaced it with his own.

The sphinx shows evidence of water erosion, and historical documents refer to water being present on the Giza plateau where the sphinx was surrounded by a large moat from which rose giant flaming torches. It must have been incredibly beautiful; a true monument to their gods.

Isis and Osiris were passionately in love. This incited the jealousy of Osiris’ brother, Set, who hacked Osiris into pieces in an uncontrolled rage, and scattered the pieces around the world. Isis, unable to deal with the loss, traveled the world and gathered up her lover’s body parts. She put him back together and breathed life into him long enough to conceive their son, Horus. Isis is revered in the ancient Egyptian religion as the goddess of medicine and magic.

Horus, represented by the falcon, is believed to reside in the Milky Way.
