Week 40's Fact or Fiction
#15
We have a tie...

Reference books agree that the damage occurred long before Napoleon was in Egypt. In addition to centuries of weather damage, the head of the Sphinx suffered destruction at the hands of the Turks in the 14th century. Those who shot at the Sphinx with guns are identified as the Mamelukes, who ruled Egypt in the 18th century. This charge against Napoleon is particularly ridiculous because, along with his troops, he brought a group of scholars to begin the first scientific study of the ancient artifacts of the region.

The Statue of Liberty's framework was made of steel.
