From the Paper:

"Geologists state the erosion evident on the body could not have resulted from wind and sand, but instead was caused by water. Ancient Egypt experienced severe flooding, and "this period coincides with the melting of the ice from the last Ice Age (13,000-8,000 BC). Wind-blown sand has little more effect than to scour clean ancient monuments, further illustrating the fact that the floodwaters of the Ice Age were responsible for the Sphinx's unique erosion patterns (http://www.sacredsites.com/final40/261.html)."
