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.

The sphinx always perplexed me but this theory makes a lot of sense. Wow is right!
