Day 60 -> What Happened to the Nose of the Sphinx of Giza?

    Archaeologists don't know for sure. One teory claims it happened in the 18th century, when a cannon ball hit the Sphinx during some war. If this is true, then the soldier who controlled the cannon had a really good aim! Another teory says that ancient people made offerings to the statue to have a good harvest and somebody, for some reason, destroyed the Sphinx's nose to have more success, perhaps. I wonder how the bystanders, seing what such person was doing, didn't try to stop him/her, if that was really the case.
     Well, I still blame the missing nose on Obelix.
