The Sphinx at Giza was carved in place from the native limestone, which varies from a resistant (but brittle) gray to a softer yellow. Sections were added or repaired with limestone of the type used in the nearby pyramids.

∙ 13y agoThe Sphinx is a statue of solid stone. Stone is inside it. Nothing more. (unless you are refering to the underground passage that is believed to exist).
They have excavated under the sphinx and revealed that there is no passage. There is, however, a small cave made in later times.

That is actually untrue if you notice on teh older pics that there is a gaping hole in the center of its head op top and your right they did excavate and found steps and mutiple tunnels like 40 feet under the sphinx but there is a way to the bottom from the head but digging and using ground penatrating sonar equipment found steps under the sand and a ancient drop off that was filled with sand. Stop being brain washed take the logical with the illogical and make your own theory cause there guess is like a 3rd grader sad
