I have read that parts of some MASSIVE boulders and other massive stones were broken up to build towns nearby after some time.

I don’t understand what good is hunk of the builder going to do?

You can’t shape it or mold it anymore

It’s already quarried, so it’s just a matter of hauling it to the building site, or breaking it first then hauling the pieces. Much of the Roman-era statuary got rendered into lime for mortar, consumed during the Middle Ages. The workshop of one of these Venus-****ers turned up in a dig, and around the kiln were a bunch of statues and parts of statues that he never finished destroying.
