The reason much Egyptian art is defaced is because Egyptians believed that a deceased human or deity’s soul could inhabit an image and defacing the art would release it. Most of the damage was done by Egyptians themselves. https://www.livescience.com/65071-why-egyptian-statues-have-broken-noses.html https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/09/29/fact-check-were-egyptian-monuments-defaced-because-they-look-black/3571128001/ https://hyperallergic.com/591628/why-are-the-noses-broken-on-egyptian-statues/ https://enterprise.press/stories/2019/03/18/why-have-so-many-ancient-egyptian-statues-lost-their-noses/ https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/egyptian-statues-broken-noses-artsy/index.html

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1840848176997109954

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
