The Pyramid and the Sphinx

Most of the plot theories rotating in the region of the Sphinx more often than not involve its age. The Sphinx is generally accepted to have been built along with the Pyramids of Giza around two thousand five hundred BC. It is even conventional that the countenance of the Sphinx bears the likeness of Khafre (Chephren), the Pharaoh for the duration of that time.

On the other hand, there was no written evidence from that era on the subject of the Sphinx or its construction. In adding, the human head of the Sphinx is little in relation to the rest of the body, representative that the skull bearing Pharaoh Khafre's resemblance could have been carved out of a better lion's head. These point led a number of researchers to consider that the Sphinx could have been build much previous by a additional ancient civilization, thus starting a whole host of plot theories.
