The Great Sphinx and the megalithic temples beside it date to about 12,500 years ago, thousands of years before dynastic Egypt.

We are pretty sure that the Sphinx, at least, does date back to 12 and a half thousand years ago and with it, the megalithic temples, the so-called Valley Temple, which stands just to the east and just to the south of the Sphinx and the Sphinx temple, which stands directly in front of the Sphinx.
