Egypt is mysterious place. It is a desert.Barely anyone was living there nowadays because of THE SPHINX. It was a mysterious creature that was born in about 900BC. Everyone living in Egypt except the Isrealites respected it,even the pharoah. Its face looked like a lion. Its sitting position is like a loyal pet cat. The historians studied it but found no one there. They either fled or died.
Those who fled were lucky enough to continue living.
