| Abstract | ||||
| Weathering means the process of cracking, smashing, fragmentation and dissolution of rocks and minerals by means of physical and chemical action while they are in their positions on the surface of the earth without moving them (1). And the chemical that has arisen in the place, and weathering may cause a kind of limited displacement of the weathered fragments, because the changes in rocky materials are subjected to changes in their sizes, such as crystal growth, buckling, washing and swelling…..etc, leads to the occurrence of individual processes for each rock component (2) Therefore, several steps were taken to save the sphinxes from the impact of weathering of all kinds that surround the statues. | ||||
