I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we’ve lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.
Please do research before adding a likely untrue statement. While it could have happened to a very select few statues (we have no proof of this), it could have been the carelessness and bad tools of archeologists of the past.
Note also that Greek statues have noses missing as well.
