the claim

The nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza was shot off by Napoleon's troops in 1798.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

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 nose of the Great Sphinx of Giza was shot off by Napoleon's troops in 1798?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: a Britannica video calls the Napoleon story a popular theory and questions whether his cannons did the damage, while a peer-reviewed geology paper attributes the nose's loss to weathering rather than naming Napoleon. No item directly settles who shot off the nose in 1798.
