Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D. He's the geophysicist from Boston University who dated the weathering of the Sphinx to 10,000 years ago. Uh, dated to at least 10,000 years ago. The last time copious amounts of rain water fell on the giza palteau would have been approaching the end of the last ice age, and thus further back than the end. The position of constellation Leo on the pre-dawn horizon in front of/the direction of gaze for the sphinx (because of precession) is one of the more telling clues presented by John A. West, Schoch, and Bauval. I'm betting the sphinx was originally carved more than 10,000 years ago, then recarved by the Pharoah who's face/head appears on it now. West feels that the original head would have been a lion.

"West feels that the original head would have been a lion."

Yup. I saw all this on a one hour documentary.
