Minerva July-Aug 2000 had the articles Vikings In America: Runestones, Relics, and Revisionism, Wealth and Power in the Viking Age, and The Art of the Vikings. More relevant to this topic, there's also an article containing abstracts of papers given at the Egyptian conference back in late March/early April:

The Great Sphinx of Giza -- A Creation of Khufu/Cheops (Rainer Stadelmann) -- The so-called Dream Stela of Tuthmosis IV does not mention that the Great Sphinx was created by Khafre (Chephren), but the older stela of Amenhotep II mentions both Khufu and Khafre. It is located within the quarries of Khufu. Since the causeway of Khafre runs slightly to the southeast, rather than straight to the east, and since his valley temple lies beyond the axis of his pyramid complex, also toward the southeast, it is suggested that it was to avoid something important that already stood there -- the Great Sphinx. The features also point to Khufu -- the square face and broad chin, the pleated nemes without a band, the wide open eyes and large ears, and the fact the statue was beardless in the Old Kingdom.

This is interesting in that (unlike Zahi "Zowie" Hawass) Rainer Stadelmann is actually a scholar, and that the supposedly incontrovertible connection between Khafre and the Sphinx is a given to, uh, some people.

My view is that the head (which has been exposed, unlike most of the body which has been buried in sand for most of the last 3000 years at least) should be dated using cosmic ray exposure dating. The head isn't that of Khafre. It is also out of scale with the body (this has been pointed out by many people for many years). The head was probably recarved during the Ethiopian dynasty (given the anatomical affinity with black Africa which has been pointed out at least three times in the past couple of centuries).
