OTHER CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC EVIDENCE INDICATING THE SPHINX IS A PRELITERATE CARVING
.
Author's Note
Any destructive re-carving of a face held to be divine (as the proposed "Lion's head" would most assuredly be) would have been a much different act than the late Dynastic practice of mutilating the names of Gods or previous Pharaohs so as to say they never existed.
This is because the Egyptians saw the mutilation of a name as destroying the memory of the God or Pharaoh in question, and was thus a way of erasing heresies and the like. Here is Encyclopedia Britannic a on this:

Let me repeat once again that to even consider that such a re-carving of a divine face could have taken place indicates how deeply out of touch most theorists are with the spiritually-driven nature of ancient Egypt. If that spiritual nature is ignored or misinterpreted, any theory about Egypt and/or the Sphinx will be riddled with serious errors. Unfortunately, this is the situation today. However, if we use the correct approach, one which is aware of the much different artistic, cultural and spiritual of preliterate cultures, we can begin to see the Sphinx more accurately.
For one thing, we can see that the likelihood of the Sphinx (including its face) having cheetah proportions makes the establishment theory of a creation date of 2500 B.C. highly suspect. I should mention that the 2500 B.C. date is backed by no sustainable evidence whatsoever, and is simply a conjecture, like mine. My conjecture, however, is backed by considerable artistic evidence (that has been completely ignored) indicating it is far more likely that the face, chest and front limbs were carved in Preliterate Proto-Egypt c. 6000-3200 B.C..
Ok. I've given you a quick taste of some of the evidence pointing to a preliterate carving of the face of the Sphinx. More evidence follows, and in much greater detail. You can judge for yourself if it makes sense. Trust your eyes. You are looking at a Sphinx which has the exact proportions of a cheetah.
