Dr. Sphinx is neither doctor nor sphinx, just an average Jane from the suburbs of Chicago who has been bitten by the curse of ebay. She has been researching the Egyptian Revival movement in architecture, and the Egyptomania phenomenon in American popular culture, since 1998.
This blog is dedicated to items from my collection. For more exciting Egyptianizing tidbits, follow me on Vimeo.
A rather quirky but interesting blog you run! I like
Thank you! Quirky is good
Dr. Sphinx,
I know this must be a great celebratory holiday fest in your pyramid. Enjoy.

Yes!!! Thanks for this.
As a sphinx fan of long standing, I love this. Here’s the only relevant thing I could think of to give you in return: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shushmuckle/3579957042/
Thanks! That’s a great piece. Sheet music from the ragtime era is one of my favorite categories to collect, not just for the graphics but the often goofy lyrics as well.
I have a family member who is crazy about all things Egypt, especially vintage. I like to show him what you find. Thanks for the very different yet entertaining blog!
Thank you! I hope you and your friend enjoy my future posts
