It was rather an ingrained culture of iconoclasm that resulted in their vandalism.<\/p>\n

The vandals targeted the nose, ears, and left arm. <\/b>Striking off a nose meant the statue ceases to breath, and therefore dies. Hammering away the ears meant it can no longer hear prayers. And in statues representing a human being making an offering to the gods, the left arm \u2014 which was most commonly used to make such offerings \u2014 was cut off. Other statuary was attacked for political reasons: Two powerful Egyptian queens, Hatshepsut and Nefertiti, had their legacies eroded as the vast wealth of their \u201cimagistic and inscribed memory\u201d posed threats to their successors. This aspect of Egypt\u2019s history will be the main theme of a months-long exhibition, Striking Power: Iconoclasm in Ancient Egypt<\/a><\/u>, set to kick off next week at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in Missouri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
