This is interesting when viewed in light of the recent claim that the enclosing walls of the sphinx demonstrate water erosion before the start of the dynastic Egyptians.

It is clear that parts of the sphinx were sculpted by the dynastic Egyptians.

What is not clear is exactly how long ago human construction started to modify its appearance from a natural formation.

It would be nice to see some more evidence for the timeline of the human shaping of the structure, from the structure itself.

Doing this without damaging the structure wouldn’t seem easy. Pulling the whole thing apart would surely tell us a lot, but at a steep price.
