Redating the Great Sphinx of Giza
Robert M. Schoch, 1992. KMT: A Modern Journal of Ancient Egypt 3(2), Summer 1992: 53-59, 66-70.
Schoch's first full statement of the redating: the enclosure's rounded, fissured walls are rain erosion, so the core body is older than the Old Kingdom, around 7000 to 5000 BC.
What it's used for here
The original published claim of a pre-dynastic Sphinx.
