The Great Sphinx of Giza has not been moved from its original location since it was constructed. However, there have been instances of restoration and preservation work, including some excavation around its base to prevent erosion. While the Sphinx has remained in situ, various archaeological efforts have aimed to better understand and protect this ancient monument.

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.
