THE GREAT SHEEP OF GIZA

After building Stonehenge to confuse mankind for millennia, the sheep scattered to the corners of the known world, operating as an unseen influence on human society. One place that they settled in was ancient Egypt, where they were worshiped as gods and revered for their dark powers.  
 
Their influence reached a peak during the construction of the Great Sheep, which is known today as the “Sphinx**.” It is over 240 feet long and 65 feet high.  It used to be over 70 feet high in its original state (shown below), but after Pharaoh Khefre had a falling out with the sheep, he altered it to be a man’s face on the body of a cat. Not a very plausible combination, but hey, their options were limited.  
 
What few people know is that when Napoleon’s troops blew the nose off the Sphinx, they were actually fulfilling a millennia-old vendetta. Sheep had acted as spies, battlefield intelligence, and military strategists for Napoleon. In return for their assistance, the sheep demanded that Napoleon conquer Egypt and destroy the blasphemous face of the Sphinx.  
 
**Note that if you rearrange the letters of “Sphinx,” and replace the I, N, and X, with two E’s and a P, you get “Sheep.” Coincidence?
