If Lehner and Hawass are right, Khafre’s architects arranged for solar events to link the pyramid, Sphinx and temple.

(考古學家Mark Lehner將獅身人面像和寺廟建築群視為一個宇宙引擎，目的在利用太陽和其他神靈的力量來復活法老的靈魂。)This transformation not only guaranteed eternal life for the dead ruler but also sustained the universal natural order, including the passing of the seasons, the annual flooding of the Nile and the daily lives of the people. In this sacred cycle of death and revival, the Sphinx may have stood for many things: as an image of Khafre the dead king, as the sun god incarnated in the living ruler and as guardian of the underworld and the Giza tombs.(獅身人面像代表許多事情：做為Khafre法老王的形像、統治者化身的太陽神、Giza墓的守護者。)

Next to the valley temple of the pyramid of Khafre stands the Great Sphinx, carved from the live rock(fig.31). It is , if anything, an even more impressive embodiment of divine king ship than the pyramids themselves. The royal head rising from the body of a lion towers to a height of 65 feet and once bore, in all probability, the features of Khafre (damage inflicted upon it during Islamic times has obscured the details of the face.) Its awesome majesty is such theat a thousand years later it could be regarded as  an image of the sun god.
