|Peter Davis asks:
|Are you saying that the Sphinx deteriorated more in the last 61 years than 
|it did in the four thousand or so years before 1936?
|
|Two things to consider.  One is in the form of a question:
|  #1 thing to consider - When did the Sphinx's nose get blown off?  I think 
|it was before 1936... so that might not account for a difference  between a 
|1936 photo, and a present day photo.

It's my recollection that the nose was lost to artillery practice via
Napolean's army in Egypt (1811 or so?)
