The purpose of the Sphinx was to guard the pyramids and crush the Pharaohs enemies that try to rob his tomb. It also means the wisdom and strength. that's what I would have thought it was without reading it. Well at least the strength part. i wouldn't think of the wisdom looking at it because when you think big you think strong. The body of a lion symbolizes power. And the head of an Pharaoh symbolizes wisdom.
