How to Build a Sphinx:
First, the Sphinx was built by a pharaoh named Jedifraa, the son of King Khufu, and because this Pharaoh was forgotten by the Pharaonic cultures. The meaning of his name is I am the Son of God, Shepherd (the Sun God)
Second, the Sphinx was built by sculpting a large piece of rock. The base had a flat base of stone, which was accumulated from limestone. The copper chisels were used to cut the stones of the statue. It had sharp edges that were not affected by the frequent work and repeated use. So you can rock hard
Thirdly, the carved stone was a very smooth stone suitable for the sculpture and beside its texture, but it was very dangerous and when carved it was very careful not to separate the soft rock from the hard layer so that the peeling does not appear between the soft layer and the solid layer where the statue is built In a longitudinal manner, when the craftsmen sculpted the lower part, the limestone was lowered downwards so they directed a leg from the statue to the right extending along the main ground surface of the statue across the palm and the back of the statue. This affected the size of the statue so that it was built longitudinally to overcome the problem. Complete the rear of the statue of the Good rock
Fourth, the statue was built to a wide width of one meter, but it was lost because of the rumors. Some of them said that the nose was destroyed by the artillery of Napoleon's soldiers.

Lost because the sons of kings Pharaohs were practiced in the shooting and also entered the factors of erosion among the causes of loss and within the words and finally it was said that it was built without a nose, but all the rumors gathered that the nose of the Sphinx was very weak and was the weakest point in Abu The Sphinx
