First sphinx found

"Seeking to rediscover the "avenue of sphinxes", an Egyptian mission found the first Luxor 'sphinx'. Secretary-General of the Higher Council of Antiquities Dr. Zahi Hawas said that the 'sphinx' carries several carvings together with a royal "Kartouch". On his part, Samir Farag, Head of the City of Luxor, described the discovery as a turning point for Luxor".
This is the complete posting on the State Information Service website - I'm sorry that there's not more.
