It would be way too much work to destroy a mountain-sized statue to the point that it is almost completely flat land where the statue used to be. I’m no expert, but my gut tells me this is probably true.

    lol @ the last guy with no clue or no value added. Just a ‘gut feeling’ that it’s 3 million years old. and to him, this article just cemented that (idiotic) belief.

        Just the last guy? Not the “Arkansas Sphinx” guy or the “what if a mercury-filled pyramid was in the Bermuda Triangle” guy?

          Tbf the Arkansas Sphinx is real, but it’s a natural rock formation that sort of resembles the Sphinx if you view it from the right angle and squint a bit. So I guess they get partial credit for that one.
