Head of the Sphinx

The sand was completely removed from Abu's body in 1905 to show the beauty of the statue and it seemed to everyone who saw that the head was smaller than the body.
Because the body was buried under the sand, it was kept away from the factors of sculpture, in contrast to the head, which was discovered several times,
 The rock consists of several layers, some of which are softer than the other, so some parts of the head are eroded and many of its finer details are lost.
The nose of the Sphinx

The statue's nose is believed to be long, 1 meter wide but has lost its nose.
The statue's nose was destroyed by the artillery of Napoleon's soldiers, according to rumors circulated by the British or the Mamluks to destroy them.
Sculpture of the statue without a nose, according to some explorers and archaeologists.

It is considered the weakest blister in the Sphinx.

King Khafra the son of King Khufu is the one who ordered the construction of the Sphinx statue, and there is a straight path between the Sphinx and the grave of Khafra (the middle pyramid).
