Now I'm starting to think that chimeras were nothing more than misrepresentations of other animals. I wonder whqt the sphynx was supposed to be. I'm guessing an owl.

I'd disagree as they are well covered in many cultures. Not just Egypt.
Would you mind showing me some examples? I'd like to check it out.
Look at the south American lore. You'll find both white men with facial hair and chimera. North American Indian lore does too, and they also report Giants, white skin, and red hair.
