Apparently you have no idea how carbon dating works. There is lot of info on the net about it, but to save you some time it requires organic material (as Herk hinted to). The Sphynx was carved from stone that was existing already. Even if it could be dated, you would only be getting how old the stone itself was - nothing about when or how it was made into the Sphynx.

Yes. And they clearly prove how old those entombed living creatures are. In fact, that is how we know when the Egyptians thrived. But that tells little about the structures. I am not saying that the Egyptians werent there. Nor am I saying they weren't built as Tombs for their Gods and Kings. But there is no way to tell who built them - and mostly no way to tell even WHEN they were built.
Just trying to ad fuel to this conspiracy theory fire.!!
