If the Masons were around back then, they would be a prime suspect in the mystery of the pyramid's creators. Or, it's possible that all of the plans for the pyramids were deposited in the hall of records and sealed under the Sphinx.
Additionally, the Sphinx shows signs of erosion that indicates rain damage, and completely inconsistent with expectations of wind and sand erosion. Egypt hasn't been a wet landscape for thousands of years before those widely believed to have built the pyramids settled the area. It is probable that the Sphinx, and possibly the pyramids, were built before they settled there. If I was looking for a place to settle while walking across the continent, and I found pyramids and a sphinx sitting there in the sand, I'd conclude that the area had some sort of significance and sit my ass down right there and build a civilization.

There is some truth there.
Some modern scientists date the Sphynx to over 10000 years old. Long before the Egyptian civilization.
But some more incriminating evidence of the egyptians is the head of the sphynx. Many believe it to be modeled after the head of an egyptian god (cant remember which one). But have you ever noticed how small it is? The sphynx is thought to have originally been a complete lion. But when discovered by the egyptians, it was merely a head sticking out of the sand. The ground was that high then. Theories have led to the idea the the egyptians merely recarved the head at the request of their leader. It might make sense.
Also, in the scientific community, there is a LOT of weight being given to the water erosion. That, in itself, is enough for me to doubt that the egyptians built it.
I have also heard theories about the tunnels. It has not been completely dis-allowed by the egyptians that they search for them. In fact, I think they were even considering further investigation into it. But ground penetrating radar ain't perfect. We use it at work to find underground utilities and pipes. Sometimes changes in density can come back as a pipe, or tunnels in this case.
Oh, and carbon dating doesnt work on rocks or stone. They have been here for millions of years.
