Sphinx adjoins the
pyramid of Chephren, King of Egypt and contained the dream tablet of
Thothmes IV. On a prophetic dream, which he had while sleeping in
the shade of the sphinx. He was told he would be king of Egypt,
though he was not the eldest son of Amenhotep II (1461-1436 B.C.)
who is thought by many to have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus. There
is thus room for the explanation that the heir apparent was `the
firstborn of Pharaoh` (Exodus xii, 29) slain by the tenth
plague. An early photograph. |
