WHAT ANIMAL
ARE WE REALLY LOOKING AT HERE?
All it takes is a quick glance to see the almost perfect fit of a cheetah's head on the head of the Sphinx (except for the nose because the nose of the Sphinx is missing). I have painted the Sphinx red so can see it in the overlay . Below is a different overlay, that of the entire body.
Compare the Sphinx's body proportions to those of a cheetah as shown above. The faint red line in the Photoshop overlay image(below) is the outline of the Sphinx. Despite what we have been told, what we are really looking at when we look at the Sphinx is not a lion but a cheetah.
Author's Note
Let me add something else if you're still not convinced. Just look above at t he size of the lion's head vs. the cheetah's head. If t he supposed lion- head Sphinx was recarved with the human face of some Pharaoh, why was his head carved so small?. A lion's head would have supplied plenty of stone (See photo L) to carve a human head in proportion to the body. But it wasn't . The carvers would have been hung and quartered in 2500 B.C. for such a small head. Think about it and the only conclusion you can come to is that the Sphinx head is the original head and it was sized small because the cheetah's head is small in relation to its body.
