Old Kingdom. The archaeological evidence suggests that the Great Sphinx was created around 2500 BC for the pharaoh Khafre, the builder of the Second Pyramid at Giza.Viewpoint: No, the Great Sphinx was built about 4,500 years ago during the reign of the pharaoh Khafre, as has long been believed by most archaeologists and Egyptologists. The Great Sphinx of Egypt is a monument consisting of a pharoah's head on the recumbent body of a lion.Egypt displayed today newly discovered tombs more than 4,000 years old and said they belonged to people who worked on the Great Pyramids of Giza, supporting evidence that slaves did not build the ancient monuments.
Who built the pyramids : the Egyptians
It was the Egyptians who built the pyramids. The Great Pyramid is dated with all the evidence, I'm telling you now to 4,600 years, the reign of Khufu. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of 104 pyramids in Egypt with superstructure.
Is the Sphinx 26000 years old
The most common wisdom holds that the monolith is around 4,500 years old, and was built for Khafre, a pharaoh of Egypt's Fourth Dynasty who lived circa 2603-2578 B.C. His pyramid is the second tallest of the pyramids built at Giza, next to his father Khufu's Great Pyramid.
Did the Egyptians not build the Sphinx : In a 1981 Smithsonian Magazine article, geologist Farouk El-Baz theorizes that the ancient Egyptians didn't create the sphinx from scratch, like the pyramids, but that desert winds formed the overall contours of the sphinx and the ancient stonemasons gave the rock a celestial face lift.
For years, Egyptologists and archaeologists have thought the Great Sphinx of Giza to be about 4,500 years old, dating to around 2500 B.C. However, some recent studies have suggested that the Sphinx was built as long ago as 7000 B.C. Over the years, various researchers have credited the Sphinx to Khafre's father, Khufu, and to Djedefre, another of Khufu's sons. More recently, a new theory emerged that places the statue's origins much further back, to some 9,000 years ago.
Did the pyramids use slaves
According to noted archeologists Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass, the pyramids were not built by slaves; Hawass's archeological discoveries in the 1990s in Cairo show the workers were paid laborers, rather than slaves. Rather, it was farmers who built the pyramids during flooding, when they could not work their lands.Building a Great Pyramid today would involve using modern technology such as concrete instead of stone, significantly simplifying construction compared to the ancient methods believed to have been used, which required thousands of workers and decades of labor.But most likely the predominant reason that pyramids fell out of fashion was security of the pharaoh's tomb. Tomb-robbing was a big issue in Ancient Egypt: it must have been hard for robbers to resist the call of all the gold and jewels in a king's burial chamber. Considering the pyramids were built more than four thousand years ago, the exact technique of construction remains a mystery and modern-day equipment was not available at the time.
Is the Sphinx 4500 years old : Numerous blocks of limestone were removed to create the Sphinx and these leftover blocks were used to build the Sphinx Temple, which is directly in front of the Sphinx. Egyptologists believe the Sphinx to be approximately 4500 years old.

NARRATOR: According to this theory, a fanatical dervish named Mohammed Sa'im al-Dahr was responsible. He is said to have hired some men to smash off the Sphinx's nose as she was still worshipped as a false god. To this day, the Arabs refer to the Sphinx as Abul Hul, or Father of Terror.
Are the pyramids 50,000 years old
Archaeologists believe Egypt's large pyramids are the work of the Old Kingdom society that rose to prominence in the Nile Valley after 3000 B.C. Historical analysis tells us that the Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids in a span of 85 years between 2589 and 2504 BC. Yes, the pyramids were built significantly before Jesus Christ. The construction of the pyramids spanned from the 26th century BCE to the 17th century BCE, whereas Jesus is estimated to have lived between 4 BC and 30 AD.But most likely the predominant reason that pyramids fell out of fashion was security of the pharaoh's tomb. Tomb-robbing was a big issue in Ancient Egypt: it must have been hard for robbers to resist the call of all the gold and jewels in a king's burial chamber.
Could pyramids be built today : Not particularly, modern materials and technology makes a pyramid relatively easy to build. What made it difficult for the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramid is the manpower limit. With modern equipment lifting heavy stone blocks would be child's play.
