Well, there's two ways to answer this question, so I'll give both. The elevation above sea level of the Great Sphinx (which is the particular sphinx I assume you are referring to) is around 83 feet. It's actually on a slope, so the elevation at the middle is 83 feet. This is from Google Earth.Now, the height of the Great Sphinx is 66 feet. This is from NOVA online at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/egypt/explore/sphinx.html
No, it is estimated that the sphinx was built nearly two thousand years before Cleopatra was born.

The sphinx was a very prominent figure in ancient Egyptian mythology, a creature that had the body of a lion but the head of a human. (Other variations on its features existed, but these two parts were essential.) The Egyptians viewed the sphinx as generally benevolent, but intimidating in strength.
