I'll go with the 'reading' of Doctor Robert Schoch who dates the Sphinx to more ancient times.

Dr Dobrev says the Sphinx was built by Djedefre in the image of his father Khufu, identifying him with the sun god Ra in order to restore respect for their dynasty.The sun god Ra looked like a laid-back lion?
I remain more convinced by the traditional argument of it being Khafre or the more recent theory of it being Khufu."
My bet's on Khufu, who could trust Khafre or Djedefre?:)

The top, back of the Sphinx head is clearly a mushroom ~ an hallucinogenic mushroom to boot ~
amanita muscaria to be exact. That's why the causeway was built around the Sphinx, which, although not as large as it is today was certainly an ancient sacred spot.
Later on the neck and body were added as building stone was removed for temple and pyramid construction. Finally a face was carved on the front of the mushroom.
However, no matter what they did, it was still a mushroom that looked pretty much like this one, and most likely traces of red and white paint pigments can be found in this area:

No mention of the geometry and the physical correlation of the Sphinx with the pyramids?

The Sphinx was clearly there as an animal, a lion, 1000s of years before the head was chopped down to make a pharaoh's head.

The Sphinx with a nose job.
Kind of narrows down who it was sculptured after -
somebody in Hollywood.

I thought the riddle of the Sphinx was "what creature walks on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?", or something like that.
It was answered by Oedipus many years ago. I actually never thought it was that difficult of a riddle.

Vassil Dobrev, a French Egyptologist, sounds to me more like Russian. Simple - Russians invented it and then it was hit by truck while crossing the road.
