I think we're all perfectly aware of the traditional make up of AE tombs.
Allowing for their tendency to have had multiple reasons for almost anything they did.
and Allowing that Each King was the Center of their World.... hence his memorial, cenotaph or Tomb must be The Best on it's own merits.
WE have 3 pyramids followed by one pyramid with 3 chambers . two separate configurations that no others have.
leaving Khafre nowhere to go but ...sideways
which is teh best argument I've been able to come up for Khafre being the Sphinx, or at teh very least, the builder of the Sphinx. It could be top honour his father, or his grandfather, or the Proto King.
Occam's Razor definitely comes into play here.
At least my ideas(right or wrong) have the merit of fitting with the AE's being the builders
