The Starry Sphinx also known as the False Children, are minor antagonists in Season 1 of the alternate history analog horror series THE MONUMENT MYTHOS, the first installment in the frachise of the same name.
They are implied to be responsible for the creation of the Giza Glass, an anomalous glass with the ability to grant immortality to anyone that is cut by it, via vitrification caused by the lightning they summon hitting sand and an unknown invisible gas particle known as Giza Gas. (see also the non-anomalous counterpart of Giza Glass, Fulgurite)
In 2022, some False Children are captured and utilized by the UZA Government to capture Freedom in a pyramid made out of Giza Glass in order to send her to Babylon Forest to fight the Air Force One Angel.
Appearance[]
The Starry Sphinx are made up of sixteen amorphous blobs of light which float synchronously to form patterns. Some of these patterns include:
- a single, large ball of light.
- several arc shapes
- a single pole like shape with a bending edge, nicknamed the "False Children" due to their similarity in appearance and abilities with the Special Trees, but without the connection to Wonderland.
- and a "walking" creature with similar looks to Canis Major, hence their name "Starry Sphinx".
Biography[]
Origins[]
Little is known about the creation of the Starry Sphinx, but, we can assume it's creation may be similar to that of the Air Force One Angel, as they display highly similar properties, including energy manipulation to attack things and having similar starting forms, being floating balls of light.
Bedouin Tribes' usage of Giza Glass[]
Prior to the general public being aware of the Starry Sphinx, the Bedouin Tribes were the only ones who memorized the "constellations" that signified the apparition of Giza Glass, thus protecting the value of the Glass and it's properties from many outsiders for years to come, as they would arrive with anticipation at the time of the strike.
The Tribes had utilized the Glass in various ways, some of them even using it as a black market coin.
Public Discovery of the Giza Glass[]
Throughout the XIX Century, various British archeologists had attempted to get their hands in Giza Glass after being informed about the many stories surrounding the anomalous lightning strikes in the vicinity of the Great Pyramids of Giza. However, due to the secrecy that the Bedouin Tribes treated the Glass and the Starry Sphinx with, it wouldn't be until the 1870s that someone would be able to obtain it.
In the late 1870s, Flinders Petrie had discovered the Starry Sphinx and by extension could predict when Giza Glass will appear. He promptly organized an expedition in 1880, where with the help of British Troops, he was able to retrieve the Glass which had formed in various multi-layed sheets.
Unfortunately, this had come with the cost of Petrie slipping and landing on a fragment of Giza Glass standing upright, decapitating him nearly instantly. Althought British Troops presumed him to die, Petrie remained conscious despite his head being separated from his body, showcasing the anomalous properties of the Glass to everybody present.
Petrie's lot of Glass was transported to the British Museum, only for the Glass to have been completely shattered and deemed worthless due to the poor handling of it's transportation. However, the remaining shards of the Glass were distributed among visiting American ambassadors.
Rockefeller's Interest[]
President John D. Rockefeller had taken notice of this series of events and ordered the confiscation of the Giza Glass from the ambassadors, only to authorize it to be used as a way to punish criminals and trespassers in the shape of swords that would be handed to various Greco-Egyptian swordsmen living in the Grand Canyon.
Freedom's Creation[]
After Jefferson Davis ordered Thomas Crawford to change Freedom's cap design, Crawford gave in to his anti-American sentiments and decided to go to Giza, Egypt in search for the Giza Glass. He would later discover the effects of the Glass after accidentally cutting the tip of his finger off, realizing that no blood had came out of the wound and that he would still barely move his finger if he concentrated.
This would eventually decline in Thomas mutilating all of his body and placing it inside Freedom, who was now equipped with a Giza Glass sword.
Thomas would eventually use the same sword with his daughter, Nina Crawford, and placing her insides inside Freedom so they could "protect" America together.

ADA FABRICATION[]
After the True Force of Mass Destruction lands on Earth, the False Children are released and do two things. The first, is that the floating light arrange so that they land on the major features of the carved Sphinx's face and cause a very, very large explosion. After this explosion, it creates the Starry Sphinx pattern to distract onlookers as the TFMD escapes.
REAL EVENTS[]
The Maize News Network makes this a public event, and records it as it happens on July 4th. After it's Starry Sphinx display, it then causes a second very large explosion, with noticable electrical arcs coming off of it, causing said Maize camera to shut down. This buys time for the TFMD.
Revelation[]
Prior to his suicide by self-immolation, Leonard W. Morlin revealed in a tape that he had been coerced by the ADA to read their scripts in order to give their claims veracity and spread misinformation among reliable sources in various occasions. One of these occasions was the documentary exposing the Special Trees within the Pyramids of Giza and THE MOTHERSHIP from Mars.
However, it's implied by footage in Maize News Network that the Starry Sphinx is a real thing, meaning that the documentary was partially false and basing itself off reality.
Mutually Assured Destruction[]
The true form of the False Children, a collection of Special Trees, was utilized in the neutralization of the Air Force One Angel via Freedom. They were used to ignite a substance called Giza Gas to create a prison of Giza Glass to safely transport Freedom to the Babylon Forest, the location of the Air Force One Angel.
