Temple in Sphinx hoax baffled Egyptologists and scholars

Cairo authorities denied any interior exploration and noted Reissner was in Nubia, not Cairo. The piece recounts the Sphinx’s true history and mentions a London exhibition of Persian tiles and artifacts including a Shah Abbas carpet insured for £5000.
