The sphinx head being too small indicating that it used to be something else... wow! I hadn't run into that idea before, but it makes sense. Something being hidden by someone? Or did the original head get damaged and someone just wanted to make something artsy out of what remained? I like your suggestion about the Amun Ra goat head, but I'm no expert.

A popular theory is that the larger monuments of Egypt actually predate our version of civilization (2000-8000BC) and that the larger monuments were built to reflect the constellations in an "as above, so below" manner. According to this theory, the three main pyramids are a reflection of Orion's belt and the sphinx was originally a lion built to reflect Leo.
