The great Spihinx is at Giza in Egypy next to the Great Phyramids. The Phyramids were built by pharaohs in approximately 2500 BC.The great sphinx has the body of a lion and the face of a man.many scientists think the man may have been Khafre,a pharaoh at that time.
However, scientists fo not all agree on this.John West and Robert Schoch have discovered water erosion on the sphinx.But,in the middle of the Egyptian desert ,where could the water have come from? Heavy around 5000 BC.so west and Schoch believe that khafre can't have built the Sphinx. The sphinx must already have existed at Giza when the pyraminds were built.but we have no idea who might have built it
