I noticed that the faces were shown.
They weren't even skulls but actual faces with appearance of life and flesh, yet they were stone. Eyes were open and soft tissues with no appearance of decomposition. Not many other body parts although there was a conspicuous phallic symbol. Reproductive organs are common with idols .
All of these would be expected to be displayed in conspicuous locations if idols. I think many of the larger ones may have had some natural slope or hole/ impression that the artists decided to modify and add to make the rest of the heads. I have seen a lot of petrified wood, but in archaeological digs soft tissue is not as common, especially flesh of animals. Many of these were large images of men. That's what were usually depicted as gods. You'll still see these today in Buddhist and Hindu shrines.

Their size reminds me of this Scripture:
Numbers 13:33 New King James Version (NKJV) There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” So there were real giants, right? That's not to say all these are them though.

Well - if they were petrified - as they were - before any decomposition could take place...

It can be difficult to find new videos that have pictures that the others do not...

If anyone finds any good videos - or, articles - for this thread - please post 'em...

There is no guarantee that all of the pictures are unedited originals; however, I am thinking that the great majority of them in the videos posted so far are valid camera shots. Or, in other words, you see what the camera saw - make of it what you will.
