As far as archaeological findings go, there are few structures out there that are more iconic than the Great Egyptian Sphinx of Giza. The image of the Sphinx is often considered to be the face of ancient Egypt as a whole, but despite the fact that it is so popular very little is known about it.
The truth is that no studies could be performed on it thus far because of how ancient and special it truly is. In case you didn’t know, despite being very close to the Giza complex it is far older than anything there. We know this because the ancient Sphinx actually has signs of corrosion that imply a far vaster time-lapse than anything the rest of the complex went through.
