 Eventually, the incarnations of Apis (as black bulls) would be chosen by priests and would live in a palace in Memphis for the rest of its life. The death of an incarnation of Apis and the discovery of a new one were great events in Ancient Egyptian life. Incarnations of Apis were buried in their own tombs in the Serapeum at Saqqara.

 The '''Sphinx Bull''' are enemies from [[The Last Revelation]].
 These appears at the [[Guardian of Semerkhet]], the [[Street Bazaar]] and [[Underneath the Sphinx]]. Their image is taken from the Ancient Egyptian god [[Apis]]. These bulls are invincible, and will charge at Lara at every opportunity. Lara manipulates the bulls into smashing through doors, smashing into stone door switches to open an escape door from the Guardian of Semerkhet, and to smash crates. Lara should stand in front of the object that needs to be smashed. As the bull charges, she should move out of the way using her acrobatic skills at the last minute.
 We can assume from the name of the level, that the bull was the guardian of [[Semerkhet]]'s tomb. The appearance in street bazaar could link it to [[Seth]] since many beasts were appearing around the [[City of the Dead]] in Cairo. However, because of it's protective role in the tomb of Semerkhet and also in the chambers under the [[Sphinx Complex]], it might not be entirely evil, just irritable.
