It is generally accepted that the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre - c2575 to c2465 BC - during the Old Kingdom, the age of the Great Pyramid builders. However there is possible evidence that the monument may be older than this for an inscription within the Great Pyramid, dating from 600 BC, records that Pharaoh Khufu-Khafre's father-carried out repairs on the Sphinx's tail and headdress.
There were many Egyptian pharaohs that had sphinxes built in their honor. However, the iconic Sphinx was most likely built in honor of Khafra.
the great sphinx in Giza was built by the pharaoh Kafreh (ka Frey) (ka does not sound like car the a makes the same sound as an a in cat)
