At least they didn't carve them into a mountain though?

And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.

Lmao what the fuck is this take? Somebody tell Egypt to start tearing down the pyramids. There are 1000s of Roman monuments still standing that celebrate specific conquests of slavers. Why are there still statues of shitty imperial colonizers all over Europe?

You only get your blood-monuments torn down when your state is systematically destroyed.
