It is rumoured that the damage to the face of the sphinx was caused by the soldiers of the Napoleonic army using it for target practice with their muskets whilst resting in Cairo during their Egyptian campaign. Whilst this cannot be proved it is an enduring story passed down by word of mouth by the local people.

Chimney deterioration is primarily caused by exposure to the elements (rain, snow, wind), freeze-thaw cycles, and the natural aging process of building materials like bricks and mortar. Other factors such as poor construction, lack of maintenance, and environmental conditions can also contribute to chimney deterioration over time.
Acids in the rain have worn the monument away. This means that if we stop polluting the air (which causes acid rain) then monuments and buildings won't be eroded. Hope this helps you! :)
It was first believed that the erosion on the sphinx due to weather was caused by water rather than wind. Further studies indicated that water erosion is a lot like salt exfoliation in appearance, which is caused by changes in humidity but no actual water. Therefore, theories vary concerning the source of erosion on the sphinx.
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.
