One of the oldest photos of the Great Sphinx, from 1880
I remember hearing a story about a German tank squad blowing the nose off the Sphinx during WWII and that is the reason why the nose was gone. Myth apparently.
Scratch that. A little research showed it was a Muslim Sheik who had the nose removed more than likely. There are drawings of the sphinx without a nose from 1737 as well. Long before Napoleons time.
Yeah, I guess there are a lot of old myths... I think I heard that one before the internets came along and information was only in the form of a book or periodical...
It happened in1378. Signs of chisel and wooden canes to pry it the rest of the water off. Never going to believe it but it was done by Muslims. Who would have thought they would stoop to such a level

I thought it was a French Artillery crew during Napoleons Egyptian campaign.

The Germans never got closer than 100 miles when they were stopped at El-Alamein in October of 1942.
Yea the internet where "You can only believe 50% of the internet 30% of the time."- Abraham Lincoln
I've a Mandela Effect like memory of seeing motion picture footage of the Sphinx's nose getting blown off.
Near as I've been able to find, it's a totally made up recollection.
