The Great Sphinx of Giza - (four views) - limestone (carved from bedrock) - impossible to identify what name the creators called their statue, as the Great Sphinx does not appear in any known inscription of the Old Kingdom and no known inscriptions have ever been found, the view held by most modern Egyptologists remains that the Great Sphinx was built for the pharaoh Khafre, the builder of the Second Pyramid at Giza - Fourth Dynasty - c.2500 BCE
The Great Sphinx of Tanis - original inscriptions removed, later inscriptions by pharaohs Amenemhat II, 12th Dynasty, Merneptah, 19th Dynasty and Shoshenq I, 22nd Dynasty - red granite - c.2600-2500 BCE
Sphinx of SENROSRET III - fifth pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty - grained anorthosite gneiss from Nubian quarries - Middle Kingdom - c.1878-1840 BCE
Sphinx of AMENEMHET III - the sixth pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty - black granite - Middle Kingdom - c.1844-1802 BCE
