I Made It Up, Made It Up, Made It Up, Made It Up.

All that stuff about Anubis was true, but Sphinxie
was never supposed to be him. Those Egyptians
were good with rock and all, but not even they
could have figured out how to horizontally extend a long,
pointed snout of stone – unsupported over thin air –
when that snout weighed hundreds of tons.

But I’m betting they WOULD have made Sphinxie
a giant Anubis dog if they could, because dogs are cool.
And I am definitely not making that up.
