Who built Sphinx of Egypt? Pharaohs who built Egyptian Pyramids?
I somewhere read that Sphinx of Egypt is thousands of years older than Egyptian Pyramids. Who then built the Sphinx of Egypt? Was the Sphinx not built by the Egyptian rulers Pharaohs who built the giant pyramids of Egypt?
Pharaohs did not build the Sphinx. Sphinx was to Egyptians of the times of Pyramids, what Pyramids are today for us. In the sense, during the time of Egyptian Civilization itself (who build the Pyramids) Sphinx was already a very ancient structure. Some believe that it initially had a lion’s head which was later modified during the Pharaoh’s time to look like Pharaoh’s face. But the mainstream belief is that it was built by one of the first pharaoh. However, water erosion features found on the walls of the Sphinx indicate that it might have been built much earlier than it is thought to be.
