The face of the sphinx could possibly represent the Roman emperor Claudius
A statue of a ‘smiling’ sphinx that is wearing the royal nemes headdress has been unearthed by an Egyptian team excavating the Roman era Temple of Horus near Dendera.
The face of the sphinx could possibly represent the Roman emperor Claudius, although there is some debate about this.
It is hoped that the stela discovered next to the sphinx may shed more light on the identity of the pharaoh who is depicted.
