Horus of the Horizon

Horus of the Horizon, the given name of the Sphinx in the 18th Dynasty. Watcher of the three Great Pyramids of Giza. With the paws of a lion, wings of a great bird and face of the Pharaoh Khafre (builder of the second largest Pyramid of Giza). It is said the carved faces were the Pharaohs way of connecting to the solar deity Sekhmet as an ode to her strength and watching over Egypt and their tombs as well as an ode to the great Winged Horus to represent the life of the sun as it rose within the horizon every day.

There is a stele between the paws of the Great Sphinx that is roughly translated to this:

"On one of these days it happened, when the king's son Tuthmosis had arrived on his journey about the time of mid-day, and had stretched himself to rest in the shade of this great god, that sleep overtook him.

He dreamt in his slumber at the moment when the sun was at the zenith, and it seemed to him as though this great god spoke to him with his own mouth, just as a father speaks to his son, addressing him thus:

' Behold me, look at me, thou, my son Tuthmosis. I am your father Horemkhu, Kheper, Ra, Tmu. The kingdom shall be given to you .... and you shall wear the white crown and the red crown on the throne of the earth-god Seb, the youngest (among the gods). The world shall be yours in its length and in its breadth, as far as the light of the eye of the lord of the universe shines. Plenty and riches shall be yours; the best from the interior of the land, and rich tributes from all nations; long years shall be granted to you as your term of life. My countenance is gracious towards you, and my heart clings to you; [I will give you] the best of all things.

'The sand of the district in which I have my existence has covered me up. Promise me that you will do what I wish in my heart; then shall I know whether you are my son, my helper. Go forward let me be united to you. I am . . . '

After this [Tuthmosis awoke, and he repeated all these speeches,] and he understood (the meaning) of the words of the god and laid them up in his heart, speaking thus with himself: 'I see how the dwellers in the temple of the city honour this god with sacrificial gifts [without thinking of freeing from sand the work of King] Khaf-Ra, the statue which was made to Tmu-Horemkhu.' ......"

To Horus of the Horizon — a vision so much bigger than could have ever been imagined...built within the reign of Pharaoh Khafre 2558–2532 BC...and today stands as the worlds largest monolith statue, to this day has an expression vaguely yielded by the true sands of time.
