When people look at the Sphinx, I understand that they often say, "What is the deal with the head?" The head is so different from the body. The head is well formed, small, detailed. The body is large, clumsy and awkwardly large. I keep wondering, "was the body deliberately buried?" If so, is it possible that the body was enclosed in large stones to better protect it? If we were to remove those large stones, would we find a magnificently carved sphinx that better matches the head?
