The missing nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza is attributed to a combination of natural erosion and deliberate damage. Historical accounts suggest that it was likely destroyed in the 14th century by local inhabitants or soldiers, possibly as an act of vandalism or to repurpose the stone. Additionally, centuries of weathering and sandstorms contributed to the deterioration of the Sphinx's features, including the nose.
