Fact: The Egyptian God Aker (or Akeru) was depicted as twin lions with the a hieroglyphic sign for "horizon" between them. Because the ancient Egyptians believed that Aker guarded the gates of the morning and night, statues of the lion god were placed at the doors of houses and also at tombs to guard both the living and the dead from evil spirits and more eartherly foes. These lion guardians were sometimes given the heads of men and women which turned them into a more recognizable form - that of the Sphinx.
