The Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid has long been one of the most enigmatic and scrutinized chambers in this magnificent archaeological monument. The Great Pyramid stands as one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history, and the mysteries it harbors continue to stimulate researchers and historians to explore it further.

White cat hanging off Atem's shoulder: Kiki, a deaf cat who loves climbing everything. Kaiba has a soft spot for her

Pale ginger and white tabby: Maple, the sweetest of them all.

Tortie: Luna, who is more attached to Kaiba than the other cats

Brown and cream tabby with missing hind leg: Cinnamon, the one Atem was the most worried about at first, but he soon realized that Cinnamon is almost unbothered by his missing leg.

Sphinx: Sage, named for her green eyes. Atem loves dressing her in silly sweaters and clothes for warmth.

Large white cat with silver flat face: Zahra, the first of the cat gang, adopted by Kaiba after the Ceremonial Duel. He's jealous his cat now loves Atem more.

The Hunt: What Happened to the Great Sphinx’s Nose?

The mystery of the Egyptian statue's missing nose has fascinated people for centuries.

Much like the desert winds that perhaps helped shape it, conspiracy theories swirl around the Great Sphinx guarding the Giza plateau—especially regarding how the winged lion’s human head lost its nose. One enduring hypothesis blames Napoleon Bonaparte’s troops for blowing the snout off during target practice. While that conspiracy’s long-debunked, it persists in popular culture. Director Ridley Scott knowingly depicted the myth in last year’s Napoleon biopic, without sacrificing any of his film’s critical acclaim. However, Egypt’s Dr. Zahi Hawass told Britannica, “We have, really, to say to everyone that Napoleon Bonaparte has nothing to do with destroying the Sphinx’s nose.”

Napoleon’s 1798 battle didn’t even take place on the Giza plateau, but 10 miles north at Imbabah. Some theories have posited that storms and earthquakes shook the Sphinx’s nose from its face. Others squabble over which regional conflict (if not Napoleon’s Battle of the Pyramids) led to the nose’s destruction. In 1990, J.P. Lepre noted that “the figure was used as a target for the guns of the Mamluks,” who were actually Napoleon’s opponents.

The French emperor did, however, lay eyes on the Sphinx’s face when he arrived in Giza, with many soldiers, painters, and engravers in tow. “Thousands of years of history are looking down upon us,” he reportedly exclaimed beneath the monument’s gaze. Napoleon didn’t respect borders, but he did respect history. The Waterloo Association called the lingering accusations against him “particularly unjust because the French general brought with him a large group of ‘savants’ to conduct the first scientific study of Egypt and its antiquities.” The resulting Orientalist survey ignited an Egyptian fervor back in Europe.

Primary materials prove the nose removal predated Napoleon, too. Danish naval captain Frederic Louis Norden’s sketch from 1738 depicts the Sphinx without its central facial feature. What’s more, French naturalist Dr. Pierre Belon visited the Sphinx in 1546, writing that it had sustained damage and “no longer [had] the stamp of grace and beauty so admired by Abdel Latif in 1200”.

Medieval Arab scholars such as al-Maqrīzī pin the damage on Muhammed Sa’im al-Dahr, a 12th-century Sufi Muslim from a respected Cairo convent, who was allegedly angry that peasants used the Sphinx to entreat Abul Hol (the Arabic name for the sphinx) into helping their harvests. Removing an idol’s nose was an accepted method to suffocate spirits inside. Still, the details remain up for debate. Hawass believes that al-Dahr acted alone. Others claim he hired men to desecrate the Sphinx. Most experts, however, agree the great statue’s nose came off with a chisel. It is also generally accepted that al-Darhr’s actions got him killed by angry villagers. Sadly, the nose itself has likely crumbled into the desert.

So my mom looked up the whole "Joseph Smith Sphinx" thing b/c she HAD to know how where it was and how it got built

It is indeed inside Salt Lake City Utah, aka Mormen central, and is open to the public for visiting! The saga of how this happened is bellow for your reading pleasure!

So, it started as a passion project for one Mormon guy in his backyard. There are more statutes there as other random Bible/Mormonism references. It's called Gilgal Garden (after a memorial Joshua commanded the Isrealites to make in the Bible).

When the guy who built it passed away, another family took over and started opening it to the public on Sundays. However, they couldn't handle the upkeep, and there was a lot of vandalism. So the owners considered making it the centerpiece of an apartment complex. Or just removing it to put in a condominium.

Then, a group of citizens calling themselves The Friends of Gilgal Garden showed up to save the Garden from being destroyed by Turing it into a protected public site. They didn't have the funds so they spent a while campaigning, convincing the city to keep it, restoring the Garden from vandalism, etc.

Now, if you are ever in Salt Lake City Utah, instead of visiting the Morman temple that you can't even go inside of. You can instead visit the lovely public Gilgal Garden and the Timblr famous Joseph Smith Sphinx :)

The Great Pyramid is about as high as a 40 story building and contains an estimated 2.3 million blocks of rectangular limestone, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons (some weighing approximately 70 tons). “Traditional” archeologist say the Great Pyramid was build in 20 years approximately 4500 years ago. To complete the Great Pyramid in this 20 year time period, a limestone block needed to be placed in finished position every 4 minutes 34 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for 20 years. We can not build the Great Pyramid today using our modern technology in 20 years.

Okay, finally got some editing done, and got all the remaining Pharaoh Cub fics up on AO3.

The Pharaoh's Call - an origin story for Cub's TCG arena and how he brings the Pharaoh back.

Sphinx Scar ficlets - a couple of little ficlets inspired by a post I saw on here ages ago. Silly fluff.

Breaking and Entering - Cub/Scar. The Pharaoh doesn't take kindly to people breaking into his pyramid.

A Discussion Between A Pharaoh and His Ba - A deep contemplation of death, identity, legacy, weird soul stuff, and the death of the Pharaoh and Old Man Cub.

I've made a series for all my Pharaoh Cub fics as well if you're interested in checking out the rest of them. Some are shippy, a couple explicit, as a warning.
