If you follow these things, as I do (rather loosely), this is not news. As the man says, "Getting older all the time." All over the world they are discovering that artifacts are what they consider to be improbably old. There is a certain dogma in effect at any given time and the present iteration of that dogma has it that certain artifacts don't fit the accepted timeline that the vast majority of scientists want to believe in. But there are surprises all over the place. Recently, a geologist, studying the way the stone had aged, dated the Sphinx as being thousands of years older than everyone thought it was. We are learning that white people traipsed across our continent long before an "indigenous" people developed. You may not hear about this again as these inconvenient findings are often buried by the Army Corps of Engineers.
A last note, carbon dating in itself is coming under question. Too much science for my little pea-brain but I know of it.

"Recently, a geologist, studying the way the stone had aged, dated the Sphinx as being thousands of years older than everyone thought it was."

You mean this?

Was The Sphinx Built Over 10,000 Years Ago?
