and giant t-shaped pillars again all mainly broken and again even this statue was broken in like three parts right yeah you see that you see this deliberate kind of breakage i mean and some of the other human statues they found previously again they're broken so it's kind of is it a sort of ceremonial breaking of the statues this is what some people have suggested
