INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Great Sphinx was built before the pyramids?

Unclear. Reference sources describe the mainstream view that the Sphinx was built for the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khafre, placing it within the Giza pyramid complex rather than before the pyramids, though they also note the dating remains debated. No source directly settles the claim that the Sphinx predates the pyramids.
