Pre-Series
An ancient civilization once existed in Egypt and its kings, who were called "Pharaohs", were preserved as Mummies after their death.

At some point the ancient Egyptians built the Sphinx as a symbol of protection.

The Library of Alexandria was found in Egypt and, although it is said to have been destroyed in a fire long ago, it was in fact hidden and few people knew of its location, including Eldora, who was the guardian of the Library and who found the Legendarium there.

Season 6
The Winx, the Pixies, Daphne and three Alfea students (who were in fact the Trix in disguise) go to Egypt to find Eldora's Diary to find a way to seal the Legendarium forever. They disguise themselves as tourists and go on a hot air balloon trip to find the Library of Alexandria where the diary is found. There they are attacked by the Mummies summoned from the Legendarium by Selina but thanks to the Pixies the Mummies are defeated. When the Winx start searching for the diary, the Trix order Selina to summon the Sphinx who attacks the city of Alexandria, scaring the tourists and the city's inhabitants. The Winx attempt to fight it in vain and the Sphinx chases them through the desert and near some ancient ruins it tells the Winx that they will have to solve its riddle. Chatta finally solves it and the Sphinx returns to its original location and becomes a lifeless statue again.
