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.

Other so called experts have desperately tried to hang on to the idea its only 4000 years old without any real evidence. But archeologists are very well known for not appreciating being proved to be in error

What did Pharaoh Khafre built the Sphinx with?
Despite current and recent teachings about the Sphinx and even the pyramids, it's not 100% certain that the pharaohs built either of them. Recently, MULTIPLE geologists have discovered water erosion on the Sphinx that resulted from thousands of years of rain fall. Now, as we know, it hasn't rained in the Nile Valley since approximately 7000 B.C. And although all these geologists have seen, reviewed and agreed that water erosion IS in FACT on the Sphinx, most archaeologists refuse to consider that as a possibility, as it would mean that all we've been teaching has been wrong. However, its been believed that the Sphinx was there to guard the pyramids, depending on which text you read. Check out John Anthony West and Graham Hancock's work.
