The estimates show that the tools used by the workers were copper chisels and hammers. There is also evidence that suggests The Great Sphinx was supposed to be built even bigger than it currently is, but the workers left the work in a hurry.

For sure, no one knows who built the Spinx. Great Sphinx of Giza, situated at the Giza Plateau adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza is a mythical creature with, as a minimum, the body of a lion and a human head.
Why did people make the great sphinx?
This is not known. However it is generally accepted that the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre - c2575 to c2465 BC - during the Old Kingdom, the age of the great pyramid builders. Although the date of its construction is uncertain, the head of the Great Sphinx now is believed to be that of the pharaoh Khafra. There is possible evidence that the monument may be older than this for an inscription within the Great Pyramid, dating from 600 BC, records that Pharaoh Khufu-Khafre's father-carried out repairs on the Sphinx's tail and headdress.
