OCG Rulings
If "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" are destroyed in the middle of a chain - for example, if a card is activated and "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained and destroys "Pyramid of Light" - then you cannot Special Summon "Theinen the Great Sphinx".: Can you Special Summon "Theinen the Great Sphinx" when "Pyramid of Light" is destroyed in the middle of a chain?
This monster is not a Special Summon monster.: Effect Monster > Andro Sphinx
If there are multiple copies of "Andro Sphinx" or "Sphinx Teleia" on the field when "Pyramid of Light" is removed from the field, then all copies of "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" are destroyed and removed from play.: Trap Card > Pyramid of Light
If "Pyramid of Light" is negated by "Royal Decree" etc when it is removed from the field, then the "Sphinx" cards are not destroyed.
When "Pyramid of Light" is removed from the field, the effect which destroys the "Sphinx" cards does not start a chain
This card’s effect which allows you to Special Summon it is a Spell Speed 1 effect that you can only activate during your Main Phase 1 or 2.
Last Turn: If "Pyramid of Light", "Andro Sphinx", and "Sphinx Teleia" are all sent to the Graveyard by "Last Turn", "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is not Special Summoned because the effect of "Pyramid of Light" activates its effect, but then looks for "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" and does not find them on the field, so it cannot destroy them with its effect.
Theinen the Great Sphinx: The effect of Summoning "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is a Trigger Effect, so you may do it during your opponent's turn if "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" are destroyed simultaneously.
