This follows the official line on who did what when, in ancient Egypt.
A good series on YouTube channel Uncharted explores cracks in that line.
IIRC Khafre, who gets credit for making the Sphinx, left a stela leaning on it boasting of his repair work on it. The water erosion evident in the walls around it is inconsistent with the official age.
The author strangely describes the pyramids as crypts, when no evidence suggesting interment in them has ever been found. Was the word "cenotaph" (a deliberately empty crypt) invented specifically for the pyramids?
