Well, I've heard two other stories about the final disposition of the statue: 1)That the statue was transported to Constantinople in c 450 AD and was never heard from again! 2) The statue was "picked at" by increasing desparate pagan priests/priestesses who sold the gold/ivory to buy food after Christians became the majority. Wood vermin took care of the rest. I kind of like the latter....:)Student7 03:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
