Reconstructing the Sphinx
Mark Lehner, 1992. Cambridge Archaeological Journal 2(1): 3-26.
The ARCE field director's synthesis: the Sphinx as the valley element of Khafre's complex, the U-shaped quarry ditch and reserved core, the Sphinx Temple built from the ditch's stone, the 100-cubit body and 20-cubit head layout, the New Kingdom cladding, and the Dream Stele and Stela of Khufu's Daughter as later texts.
What it's used for here
The baseline archaeological account and the source for the Khafre attribution's reasoning.
