It's interesting that the only known example of a sphinx for this king was found outside Egypt.

My guess is some Roman officer bought it in Egypt then was transferred to Palestine, then got tired of lugging it around and just left it.

From the article:
To Ben-Tor, however, the true coveted find would be archives buried somewhere on Tel Hazor that could serve as an inventory to the ancient city's content. "I know there are two archives," he said. "We already have 18 documents from two periods, the 17th and 14th century BC. If I found those archives, people would come running here."
What are these "archives"? Are they government accounting ledgers? Or is he talking about libraries? Or what?
It sounds like the archives from the 17th and 14th centuries BC are known about but are not yet found.

I like the third alternative, that the sphinx was moved to Canaan later, during the period Egypt dominated the region.
