Article summary: 

Dr. 'Alī Abū al-Khayr, an Islamic writer, warns against salafists who issued fatwás about covering the faces of the Pharaonic statues with wax because they look like idols.

'Abd al-Mun'im al-Shahāt, a salafī leader, said that the Egyptian  civilization is rotten and the statues look like the idols around the Ka'abah.

A lot of salafīs called for demolishing the monuments claiming that they are only idols.
