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.
