More re age and development of Giza Sphinx


Press TV

A British geologist claims the Egyptian Sphinx could be much older than previously thought and might have originally had a lion's face.

Colin Reader says the rain erosion on the Sphinx's enclosure suggests it was built before the first pyramid was constructed about 4,500 years ago.

Reader believes the monument's style shows that it dates back to the Early Dynastic period, making it several hundred years older than what previously thought.

Experts also found that the body of the Sphinx is disproportionate to its head, showing that the sphinx's original head was something else - a lion for instance - and re-carved later to be modeled on Pharaoh Khufu's face.
