lightly Posted July 29, 2017 #53 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Is there evidence that the Sphinx ever actually had an entire Carved body? is it possible that at one time it was just a bust ?..and that the block body, cut from surrounding block in the enclosure, was added later? ..over a roughly hewn ,and softer, core?

Hey, you, where have you been? You don't call, you don't write. The answer is kind of complicated, but chemical analysis of the stones in the Sphinx Temple shows the stones were cut from the enclosure. The architectural features of the Sphinx Temple show it was built after the adjacent Valley Temple as an integral part of Khafre's pyramid complex. Therefore, the body of the Sphinx was cut and shaped the same time as the head. That's how it stands at present. So far, luckily, they haven't found a "Made in China" sticker anywhere on the Sphinx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted July 30, 2017 #55 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Back to earth has the Sphinx covered, and Khaemwaset has the pyramids. But we mustn't forget about ol' Tut: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
