Statues in ancient Egypt were in most cases defaced by Egyptians themselves for cultural/religious/ceremonial/spiritual/political reasons. The Sphinx may have been damaged by a Muslim during the middle ages for religious reasons. https://www.livescience.com/65071-why-egyptian-statues-have-broken-noses.html https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/egyptian-statues-broken-noses-artsy/index.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://youtu.be/EUql9pRd9jk
