The great image has fallen from its height of mighty mysteriousness, to be shown by unassailable proof to be nothing but a colossal portrait of Ra- Harmachis, which, as god of the morn- ing and conqueror of darkness, faces the rising sun. Colonel Ram, whose discovery has now made him world famous, has been for some time past making excavations around the Sphinx, but not until re- cently did he succeed in finally uncov- ering the foundations of the great statue and bringing to light many in- teresting features which were previous- 1y unknown. The haunting secrecy which has en- shrouded the Sphinx for centuries Colonel Ram has successfully pene- trated, but pot until men had given their lives to the attempt to unravel it, legends and steries had been born in its shadow and had died, and books, works of a lifetime, had been completed and destroyed and other equally ponderous works raised on their ashes. Colonel Ram, while he was removing this fascinating vell, has supplied the Sphinx with a history the interest of which quite makes up for the loss of the mystery. Among the heretofore unknown fea- tures ot the stone figure which he has just brought to light is the temple sur- rounding the base, which was intended for the worship of Harmachis, and sev- eral chambers “=¥ 'n the rock which were the tombs of Kings and priests to make the defects in the ment of the now to a ¢ they wer i Heve the as once cov- erad with e . Indeed, it is yet possible to find fragments still adhering to the surface which resemble the porcelain tiles found in tombs and the izs of the ancient palaces.
