The White Sphinx in all its glory can
easily be viewed as a godlike being. Unlike a normal sphinx, the Time Traveler make specific note
that its wings are outstretched like an angel's. Also, the Time Traveler repeatedly notes that
the eyes of the sphinx seem to follow him everywhere. The Ancient Egyptians built and worshipped
what we know as the original Great Sphinx, and the presence of another large sphinx statue hundreds
of thousands of years in the future could be representative of a similar religion of some future society
The Palace of Green Porcelain is
for all intents and purposes a museum. However, unlike most museums, this building contains artifacts
from the Time Traveler's era, a feeling too strange for most of us to even contemplate. It is
here that the Time Traveler finds a renewed sense of confidence against the Morlocks after finding matches,
camphor, and a weapon. He seems oddly at ease within the walls of this 'palace,' almost as though
it is a source of refuge for him. Perhaps this is because the items within its walls are from
his home even though he is so far away from it.
