Original Note:
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
