You need to look up two gentlemen.
Dr. John West and Robert Schoch. They have better evidence that says the sphinx is onwards of about 10-12k years (due to weather/water erosion.
NatGeo is a lap dog to politics and the NWO. Leave science to REAL scientists.

The article makes no mention of "new evidence", rather it is based entirely on the premise that Khufu is the actual builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and the custom of Pharaohs starting construction at the beginning of their rule. That is how they derived the GP's supposed age. Some theories contest whether Khufu built the GP or refurbished for his own use a much older edifice.
New evidence says the pyramid was made in 2470 B.C, according to new research. What are your views on this??? Why would the egyptians build a sphinx thats supposedly around 5000BC then the pyramids thousands of years later???? Wasen't the sphinx supppose to guard the pyramids? What do you guys think about this????
When considered in terms of the hydrology of the site, the distribution of degradation within the Sphinx enclosure indicates that the excavation of the Sphinx and the original construction of the Sphinx temple, pre-date Khufu's early Fourth Dynasty development at Giza. The spatial relationships between "Khafre's" causeway, the Sphinx and Khufu's quarries provides additional evidence that the causeway and the Sphinx were constructed some time before Khufu's quarrying began. The prominent location and close association of the Proto-mortuary temple with the causeway indicates that this structure may have also formed part of the early development of the site. –

I'm sorry but the Egyptians plastered everything with writing. We have the greatest of all monuments with zip except for a questionable bit of graffiti claiming Khufu as the builder.

As the sphinx is older, that was probably never the intention. Anyway, it seems like the sphinx was not a cat after all. It may originally have been much bigger and may have looked like Anubis. The proportions of the sphinx body is "wrong" the way it looks now, a small head and a long body. It may have been damaged by an earthquake or something, and then turned into the sphinx we know today.
the fear that permeats the egyptian academic society, that pyramids were not built by Egyptians. Thats of course rubbish, the Pyramids were built by Egyptians but the year is more like 10000 B.C.
