Answer 1

This is what I found.
They (Desert Arabs, pale Muslims) are the ones responsible for destroying and distorting the faces and statues of Egypt in order to hide the fact that they too were originally Black Africans. Many think this was Napolean’s doing because he was an avid Egyptologist and did collect ancient, especially Egyptian, artifacts, however this is not true. During the 8th and 9th century Abdullah Mamun son of Haruwn Al Rashid was the khalifah (successor). During this time, the Islamic community was flourishing and there was an encouragement of intellectual pursuits. The Muslims flourished because they were robbing Egypt of her knowledge, wealth, and even stole the stones from the pyramids. Originally the pyramids were covered with limestone, and Muslims used these materials to build their mosques.
The chopped off nose of the Sphinx is the most known example of this kind of distortion. The Sphinx was too large to steal or hide, and too well known and protected to destroy, this left these red Arabs with only one alternative distortion. The Macedonian Arab Mehemet Ali removed the nose of the Sphinx and stole more limestone from the pyramids for the construction of mosques Al Kham in Egypt. Under this ruler of Egypt between 1805 and 1848 A.D. teams of men were set out to destroy, distort and steal all of the pieces of art and science that they could. They knew that this would prove how you, Black Africans, are the real Egyptians and they are not, although they have now infiltrated and taken over Egypt. The fact still remains that the head of the Sphinx and other great statues, such as the head of Amenemhat and Imhotep, were those of Black Africans, facts that are now being revealed.

So it seems maybe you should look it up because no two people have given you the same answer. Learn to do your own home.

Answer 2

In the 15th century the Egyptian historian al-Maqrizi wrote that the Sufi priest Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr destroyed the nose in 1978. The priest became enraged when the local peasants made sacrifices for the Sphinx in hope for a better harvest and wanted to destroy the whole thing. Luckily he didn't succeed.

Answer 3

Some big leader guy got mad at the Sphinx because people worshiped it more than him ..so he chopped up the nose

Answer 4

Many theories and rumors have been posited over the years. It has, however, been missing for a long time. Possibly as far back as the early years of Islam. Check wikipedia and other websites. It might give you something to go on. Good luck.

Answer 6

GOOGLE IT! at leat then you can figure out how to do your own research.....i mean, something that simple would most likely be foudn in wikipedia!

p.s.
the turks shot it off in the turkish period....long before the popular theory of napolean's men lobbing it off.

and it didn't erode...if that were the case, then the errosion would have left it smooth, but it is a jagged remain....it was used for target practice by the turks. case closed.

EDIT:
however, the possibility of errosion is always there, it is unlikely and the popular theory is the turks shot it off.
