# 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.
