For the same reasons pagans destroyed other pagan statues when Alexander the Great (briefly) demmanded to be worshiped as God from Greeks and Romans conquered the other barbaric tribes neighborhing theme.

yes but Christians destroyed statues in the very specific way that the talmud said that they should destroy statues . With the nose and ears cut off.

I see two half-noses destroyed, 1 intact nose and the Sphynx which we know muslims did. I need something more concrete.

I'm pretty sure most of the statues we destroyed outright. If you're going to deface a statue, the nose would be an obvious, easy target.

Because Christianity hates idolatry.

They destroyed idols, IE statues that had become possessed by demons and were performing false miracles to get people to worship as a god whatever heroic figure the statue was. Most of the Pagan "gods" were never intended to be as such, they were just commemorating their heroes, but over time, demons began to warp this commemoration into divine worship by pretending they were the person that the statue was meant to represent. If the Christians were destroying statues willie nilly (like the muslims, who are iconoclasts, do), there would be nothing left. In reality, Christians preserved a lot of statues that werent being tainted by demons because we respect other cultures and their heroes, we just hate idolatry, because it is a form of fraud that denies God His due and dishonors the memory of the ancestors.
