The Second Sphinx question

Now, for a long time I've heard of the Second Sphinx
theory. But, what I recall hearing was that a canal
ran in front of the Spinx in ancient times, and that the
second Sphinx sat across the water.

This theory is different, not to mention a little far
fetched:

CAIRO: Two Sphinxes existed on the Pyramids Plateau,
according to a new study by Egyptologist Bassam El
Shammaa.

El Shammaa said the famed half-lion, half man statute
was an Egyptian deity erected next to another Sphinx,
which has since vanished without a trace. This theory,
however, is in contradiction to the general belief that a
single colossal statue functioned as a guard to the
pyramids.

El Shammaa said the idea of two Sphinxes is more in
line with ancient Egyptian beliefs, which were mainly
based on duality.

"The pyramid texts recovered at Saqqara, especially
from the Wanis Pyramid, contain descriptions of the
ancient Egyptian conception of how the universe was
created. Basically, this concept underlined the belief
in duality," El Shammaa said.

"Whenever we have to deal with the Solar cult, we
should speak of one lion and one lioness facing each
other, posing parallel to each other or sitting in a
back-to-back position."

"The double avenue of the ram-headed Sphinxes fronting
the first Karnak pylon and its counterpart of
human-headed Sphinxes at the Temple of Luxor
emphasise this duality, alongside other indications like
the double crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, Isis, Osiris,
Habtoor and Horus," elaborated El Shammaa.

He said ancient Egyptian records and mythology
suggested that lightening destroyed part of the Sphinx,
adding that this might be in reference to the second
Sphinx, which was eliminated after a curse by the chief
Egyptian deity.

"Utterance No. 600 says that Atum - the 'complete one'
and creator god in ancient Egyptian mythology - created
his son Shu and daughter Tefnut, shaping them as a
lion and a lioness and placing each one on an extreme
tip of the universe," he said.

"Shu was to take the solar disc between his jaws and
hand it to his sister Tefnut who in turn would capture it
between her jaws and by so doing they would achieve
the full cycle of the Sun," he added.

, the sphinx is an image that says when Leo rules with the rise of
Regulus, then look for Isis (Venus) to the left in Leo and Sothis to
the Left in Orion. (it is called a Sothic Venus) Also look for the
sothic moon the last crescent Osiris, not the new born Horus who is in
the west, but Osiris the one who will be reborn will be at Regulus as
Isis is.
You need to look for the dates of Venus every 243 years, and the moon
every 19 years or more accurately to rely on its 4 year leap of the
star Sothis then 76 years. One such rise is 2272-2029-1786 BC closing
the 12th dynasty. But because 3600 new moons equals 291 years it may
very well be 2231-2029-1778 BC. The year 2321 BC of 291 years is the
false date to close 5th dynasty with deaths of Mesanepada of Ur
(Peleg) and Unas of Sakkara, the true deaths were 2030 BC. But the
year 1786 BC is the false close of the 12th dynasty while the true
cvlose is 1738 BC,when Joseph was regarded by the Ramses Papyrus of
1290 BC as having been the collapse of that dynasty. If this were not
true then why did Moses forbid the 7th year forced from the ground, a
thing Joseph did depleting the land from everything he could extract
for all 7 years. Because the latter dates has two opposing
chronologies (2029 as fall of Ur to either 1786 or 1738) it is more
probable the sphinx was built in 1738 BC than 2029 BC. All though
either year is pheasible. Pyramids were not closed up as tombs at the
end of the 5th dynasty, only the young were dying at 240 like Unas and
Peleg. KayEf did not die until Eber's generation in 1839 BC at the
ages of 464. That is why they are buried with 12th dynasty
possessions. And the 3rd chamber attempted in the great pyramid was in
1986 BC not failing 92 years of precession a third time until 1894 BC
which made Babylon laugh at their great pyramid. But then Moses was
born when Babylon fell in 1594 BC and it was EGypt's turn to laugh.

There is only one Leo so there would only be one sphinx at a given
site. They dont build two temples of Isis beside each other. Although
they do build enough pyramids, but then that enslaves people which
creates a class who can sit on their ass and get fed and clothed and
their homes built like modern democratic capitalism people willing to
be employee slaves
