A Dog’s Life in the Desert
December 12th, 2008 by Syd Walker

The Lion of Giza?

The Great Lion of Giza?A Digital Artist's Guess

Following the earlier story about the hypothetical Lion of Giza, I got to wondering if the latest archeological theory is correct.

Why would the ancients make such a fuss about lions? Surely, like most normal folk today, the family pooch would have been the centre of their adoration?

Below is a well-known local dog, a personal friend of mine, superimposed over the dilapidated modern sphinx, courtesy of Photoshop.

He looks more plausible than the Daily Mail’s mangy digital feline. Then again, he is a photogenic beast.

The arhaeologists need to find hard evidence. If they uncover a giant bone and a chewed asteroid, my Dog and I expect credit for coming up with this theory first.
