The Other Sphinx - One Lion Short of a Threshold

Italian researchers recently claimed 80% confidence in a buried second sphinx at Giza, and the mainstream dismissed it before the news cycle finished. But the question they raised is not new. It goes back to the oldest religious texts we have. The god the sphinx was built to embody was Aker, one of the most ancient deities in the Egyptian pantheon. He was always depicted as two lions named Yesterday and Tomorrow, guarding the eastern and western horizons, holding the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The Dream Stele placed between the sphinx's paws shows two sphinxes facing each other. A fragmented Middle Kingdom papyrus mentions a second one. Every major ancient civilization that built a cosmology around thresholds built twin guardians at those thresholds: the Assyrian Lamassu, the Sumerian Divine Twins, the scorpion-beings at Mashu, the Zoroastrian Gopatha.Why does the human imagination keep arriving at the same answer when it contemplates the place where worlds meet? What does it mean that the sphinx may be one half of a paired mechanism that was either never completed or was completed and then lost? And what are the implications of four thousand years of civilization oriented around a cosmological instrument that may have been broken before any of us got here?
