If it happens once or twice, maybe you can consider it an accident. However, if most of the ancient statues have been damaged in the nose, something suspicious has happened. It is clear that it was intentional, but who did it and why?
Edward Bleiberg, curator at the Brooklyn Museum's Egyptian art gallery, said that at first he also didn't pay attention. However, when many visitors asked about the disappearance of the ancient statues' noses, Bleiberg only tried to find out. He conducted research on facial destruction and its relation to life after death.
"The consistency of the pattern shows that it was done intentionally. Not only sculpture, 2D relief also shows intentional destruction, "Bleiberg said.

According to Bleiberg, the Ancient Egyptians truly believed that the statue held a dead soul or the essence of a god. Sculptures, reliefs, and paintings are considered as a portal between the living and the world of the gods and the dead. A ritual will usually be performed to 'activate' the statue so that it is easily possessed by spirits.
Most of these objects are stored in tombs or temples. This is done so that the descendants of the deceased can 'feed' their ancestors in the afterlife with gifts and food. In addition, humans often send offerings to the gods in return for guarding Egypt.
Some people think that this method can give the spirit more strength. Therefore, they - especially the grave robbers - tried to take their power through acts of vandalism.
"The body part of the damaged statue is believed to be no longer able to do its job," Bleiberg said.
Without ears, the spirit in the statue will not hear prayer. Without arms, he is unable to accept offerings. And without a nose, they are believed to be unable to breathe.
The grave robbers might deliberately damage the nose of an ancient statue so that spirits cannot take revenge on them.

According to Bleiberg, Ancient Egypt has a long history of corrupting human images. In prehistoric times, for example, mummies were deliberately damaged. Then, when Christianity arrived, the statues, reliefs, and icons of the Egyptian god Kuni were deliberately damaged to prevent the "infidel demons" from reviving.
"Destruction is a strong symbolic movement associated with helplessness, humiliation, loss of identity, and pain," he said.
Although the motive for the vandalism is not known until now, but at least we know that it was not an accident - it was intentional.
