Why do the scientist think that the great sphinx is crumbling?
The erosion of the Sphinx has been caused by thousands of years of it being battered by sand in strong winds, gradually weathering and wearing it down.Since the industrial revolution, the Sphinx is also being affected by acid rain and pollution, which is slightly speeding up the erosion.If you are asking about the nose of the Sphinx, which is missing, that was not eroded.The Sphinx does not have a nose because Napoleon, when he went through Egypt, ordered his men to use the nose of the Sphinx as target practice.
