It is generally accepted that the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre - c2575 to c2465 BC - during the Old Kingdom, the age of the Great Pyramid builders. It is believed that Khafre's workers shaped the stone into the lion and gave it their king's face. It was carved out of a single block of limestone of varying quality. The approximate dimensions in feet are that it is 240 long, 20 wide and 65 high

One fact is that it's nose fell off.
Usually a research project is the accumulation of facts AND a synthesis of the information into conclusions supported by the facts. Some research projects can be just facts but not as good.
Yes there is one Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) a little over 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the Great Sphinx of Egypt. Located on Al Ahram Avenue northeast of the Great Sphinx. There are approximately nine KFCs in the city of Cairo, Egypt. where the Great Sphinx is located, so you should be good to go.
No, it is much too difficult to summon.
Because of its position, it is clear that it was specifically dedicated to the Great Sphinx, but since we lack any contemporary texts, we know as good as nothing about its actual purpose and use.
have good hearing
PBS is a good website for a primary source it will show many different facts that are good for research
The Internet would be a good place to start. Then, move on to your local library.
Someone with a job in this field discovers facts, performs research, and collects data. A good research engineer job requires you to have proper education and experience.
Fun and good times!
The key to a good science story is facts. Do your research and include lots of them as supporting evidence for your hypothesis or topic.
It depends on the species. There are hundreds of types of sphinx moth caterpillars in the US alone, from tomato hornworms to Virginia creeper sphinx to azalea sphinx. A lot of them have their food plant in their name (ash sphinx, fig sphinx, hydrangea sphinx, walnut sphinx, wild cherry sphinx, beadstraw hawkmoth, elm sphinx, big poplar sphinx, etc.) but some can be misleading: the laurel sphinx doesn't like laurel, the sequoia sphinx won't eat sequoia, and the great ash sphinx will eat a wide variety of leaves in addition to ash. You should try to identify the caterpillar to species first, and then look up what that species eats. Bugguide and Moth Photographers Group have photos of almost every North American species (except tropical ones from Mexico), so that is a good place to start.
In Greek mythology, the sphinx was bad. She asked travelers a riddle, and if they got it wrong, she ate them!
