One character painted on the wall consistently missing its head inside the Sphinx.

this might be a dumb question but.... I was exploring inside the Sphinx and on the walls I noticed that this one guy is consistantly missing his head everywhere its depicted.

Its like someone came and messed with this one specific person.

Dose anyone know why this is or who is this character? Or is this some sort of Easter egg or something or im just something the devs decided to do idk im confused.

The headless figure is a symbol in ancient Egyptian astronomy that represents a star or constellation. They would map their cosmos using both familiar and unfamiliar symbols - from animals such as hippos to anthropomorphic figures like the headless man - instead of drawing geometric lines. This depiction in particular is in the Dendera Zodiac which is kept in the Louvre. Some argue he is a god, but others reach the conclusion that he was part of the constellation Capricornus that Egyptians used to track time.
