The noses of many ancient sphinxes, particularly the Great Sphinx of Giza, are believed to have been damaged or destroyed due to a combination of natural erosion and deliberate vandalism. Historical accounts suggest that some noses were intentionally removed by iconoclasts or during military campaigns, as they viewed the sphinxes as symbols of idolatry. Additionally, centuries of wind and sand erosion likely contributed to the deterioration of these features.
