Why does the Sphinx have no nose?

There is also a saying that the nose of the Sphinx is related to Napoleon. Napoleon went on an expedition to Egypt and came to the pyramids of Giza. He ordered the shelling of the Sphinx to find a secret passage to the Great Pyramid. As a result, Napoleon's soldiers took the Sphinx as the target of practice, and the nose of the Sphinx was blown off during the test shot. This statement is untrue. Judging from Napoleon's diaries and memoirs, Napoleon was more than just a soldier. He has been interested in history since childhood. When he led his troops to Egypt in 1798, he took a scientific and artistic investigation team of nearly 200 people, including some historians and archaeologists, thus leaving a famous saying that scholars and donkeys walked in the middle of the team. The Sphinx was first severely damaged by nature. Because the stone of the Sphinx is soft limestone, it can't be as strong and tough as the pyramid. After years of sunshine and rain, a strong sandstorm hit western Egypt. The Sphinx has been completely swallowed up by the desert many times, and then it was dug up.
