The ancient landmark being referred to is the Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. In 1982, a stone from the north paw of the Sphinx fell off, and in 1988, a 700-pound chunk from its shoulder also fell.

Why did they shoot cannonballs at the Sphinx?
cause they wanted to ---------------------------- Somebody left a smart-ass answer but, then again, the question is flawed because it's unclear which "they" the question is referring to and exactly which Sphinx. If you're referring to the Great Sphinx of Giza, nobody has shot cannonballs at the monolith. The Great Sphinx has been excavated in modern times. Previously, only the head was exposed from the sands. The beard fell off due to time and gravity. Other parts of the head were possibly damaged by the vandalism of a 14th century Sufi Muslim who was trying to stop Nile tribes from worshiping the statue (and was hung for his defacing efforts by the Nile tribe). This may (if he was very successful) have been the cause of much of the defacement of the nose though it was long before the invention of cannonballs. Most of the damage is due to time and erosion and the oldest drawings in existence show the head has been in its current shape for hundreds of years. SHORT ANSWER: Nobody shot cannonballs at the sphinx.
Who found the great Sphinx and when?
The Great Sphinx at Giza has been partially covered with sand off and on since its construction. However, the head (at least) has always been exposed. Hence, it was never actually "found." Lying as it does only a short distance from the Nile, it is not known that its location was ever lost. In 1817, the first modern archaeological dig, supervised by the Italian Giovanni Battista Caviglia, uncovered the Sphinx's chest completely. The entire Sphinx was finally excavated in 1925.
