Which Pharaoh built a temple to the north east of the Sphinx 1000 years after it was built ?
In the New Kingdom , the Sphinx became more specifically associated with the god " Hor - em - akhet " ( Hellenized : " Harmachis " ) or Horus at the Horizon , which represented the pharaoh in his role as the " Shesep - ankh " ( English : " Living Image " ) of the god Atum .
