I can read the mind of one of the native diggers. His mind says.....”As soon as these unbelievers leave we will fulfill Mohammed’s words and destroy these idols!”

Egyptians who work on the digs typically are all related to each other in some fashion, that’s how they get the job. While they may use Islamic-sounding chants when they’re doing the heavy pulling or lifting, that’s analogous to a chain-gang work song, and isn’t indicative of jihadist tendencies. The reason the Luxor mass-murdering cowardly jihadists got caught is, the local Egyptians who work there, or just live around there, got angry, ran after them, and beat all their asses.
Quartzite is a bit brittle for its weight, so when the quake hit and the statue tipped, it was pretty much over. I doubt that these repairs are going to hold very well, we’re looking at a lot of weight and a lot of nearly-vertical breaks.
Well, if the Muslims don’t do it, the feminists will for the making the man so much bigger than the woman.
