A chronologically ordered collection of some news reports regarding the Great Sphinx of Giza. Sadly many news articles about the Great Sphinx recycle and regurgitate well established facts about the monument presenting them as new discoveries. I've not included links to most of these spurious news articles. Please note that some of the webpages of these news sites are heavily laden with adverts. Finally, remember the rule of thumb in relation to the news, don't always believe what you see, read or hear!
