Video: "Why Ancient Christians Destroyed Greek Statues"

    I have watched most of this and but not to the end. I don't find the delivery of the information to be to my taste, but if you suspend judgment on the editorializing there seems to be a lot of useful information on the topic of early Christian suppression of competing religions and philosophies.

    Damaging the nose is really common in surviving ancient statues. I went to a museum exhibition featuring ancient Egyptian art and almost every one of the faces on the statues lacked noses.

    Cutting them off keeps the statue from breathing! :D
