Institution of the Sphinx

The available sources do not provide specific details regarding an "Institution of the Sphinx." While the "order of the sphinx" is listed as a key theme in the index for the Van Kush Family Research Institute's Comprehensive Master Synthesis, the document itself does not elaborate on this concept [1].

Within the framework of the Van Kush Family Research Institute (VKFRI), the Sphinx is identified with Mehit [2].

The Sphinx in VKFRI Framework

VKFRI's Comprehensive Master Synthesis identifies Mehit as "the Sphinx" [2]. Mehit is described as the wife of Anhur, a war god associated with the Royal Military tradition of ancient Nubia and Egypt [2]. Anhur is also linked to a temple in the Egyptian city of Sebennytos and is depicted with a four-plumed crown [3]. According to VKFRI's synthesis, Anhur brought Mehit from Nubia, which is identified with Cush (Biblical Nubia, modern Sudan/Ethiopia) [2][3].

Connections to the Van Kush Family

The Van Kush Family, within its own framework, connects its name to "Cush," meaning "From Cush," and associates itself with the ancient Nubian/Egyptian Royal Military tradition, which includes Anhur and Mehit [2].
