The Egyptians, it seems to me, want all of the ancient glory to be theirs. They do not want a greater glory going to an African culture that may have preceded them. In other words they want all the credit.
Good point. I think that's part of it.
However I am pretty sure that the biggest reason for the coverup of the true age of the Great Sphinx and the true builders of it is that the PTB bassturds do NOT want any of this hidden information to go mainstream, so the top Egyptologists are likely bought off to ensure their silence on this matter.
Imagine the big to-do in the world if the information of the Great Sphinx went mainstream world-wide? The PTBs would suffer greatly from a loss of dominance, their loss of their ability to re-write history in their favor, their ability to control the masses, hence they keep a tight lid on it, most likely through bribery.
And I do think that it was the Atlanteans who made the Great Sphinx. I'm pretty sure of that.
