WHY IS THE RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

When we were in school, our teachers told us "The Riddle of the Sphinx":

What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

Several of us at Conspiracy Fury were told the story and the riddle. Discovery has an online game about it. As far as we know, young kids are still being exposed to this riddle, but what else are they being exposed to?

The Sphinx is still a great mystery. Versions of this creature are found across the globe in Athens, Delphi, Spain, and more. The pyramids of Egypt are also reflected in South America, leading many to believe the gift of architecture came from one source. We aren't going to go into the whole "aliens helped build the pyramids" argument, though (we do recommend clicking that link).

We just wanted to point this story out because it seems so unlike public education to openly accept and spread this concept. They are inadvertently opening children's eyes to the possibility of a giant, alien, riddle-telling creature. They are sparking an interest in Egypt and the pyramids that could potentially lead to more Conspiracy Fury readers.

This isn't a conspiracy. It's a reminder that public education isn't all bad if it's taken the right way. We hope the Riddle of the Sphinx gets kids looking into what the Sphinx really is, and what's going on in Giza, Gaza and the Holy Land.

"Man" is the answer to the Sphinx's riddle, by the way. Perhaps this alien god was laughing at the weak humans.
