[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The number of pillars in the temple of the Sphinx most likely represents the number of hours in the day. In ancient Egypt, time was divided into 24 equal parts, known as the "hours of the day" or "hours of the night." Each hour was marked by the movement of the sun across the sky, and the Egyptians used sundials and other tools to measure time. So, the 24 pillars could symbolize the 24 hours in a day.
