What did the pyramids nose fall?
The nose fell off the Spinx, not the pyramid. Most believe it was due to wind erosion but no one is really sure why it fell off.

There is no specific date. Some have suggested Napoleon's army shot the nose off with canon balls, but there are sketches of the Sphinx that pre-date Napoleon by 50 years and they show the already Sphinx missing it's nose. On the other hand there are chisel marks that indicate someone climbed up there and used a tool to break off the nose.
Did Napoleon's troops shoot the nose off of the Sphinx in Egypt?
No. There were drawings of the Sphinx without a nose before Napoleon's time. The Sphinx actually lost a considerable amount of its features in 1378 AD when a local Sufi Sheik thought the Sphinx to be idolatrous and attempted to blow it up with explosives. His name was Sayim al-Dahr. They did much the same thing in Afghanistan with some Buddhist images they did not like. The other theory is that he went up there with a chisel since there are marking where the nose used to be that indicate that type of tool had been used to break off the nose.

Why is nose on the Sphinx missing?
When Napoleon soldiers from France was drunk they shot the Sphinx nose so constantly that it finally fell off the Sphinx,Which made a great but untrue fable.The first recorded picture of the Great Sphinx was painted hundreds of years before Napoleon's Army arrived in Egypt. It had no nose then so it was not an effort by the French to destroy a historical monument.The most likely reason was not man made, but a minute natural fissure that expanded over the centuries..
