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.

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..

An example of wind weathering is when sand particles carried by the wind collide with rocks, wearing them down over time through abrasion. This process can create interesting landforms like sand dunes or ventifacts.
