Curious. Do Muslims destroy the artifacts and statues from the ancient Egyptians since the Egyptians worshiped various gods (as they were pre-false god Allah)... like they did with the status (Hindu ?) they destroyed (in India or Afghanistan I've forgotten)?
Or do they preserve the artifacts, relics and statues as part of their heritage (and make money from it)?

In Egypt they try to save the relics. Tourism is one of the major forms of income for them.

The Egyptians apparently are smart enough and have enough pride in their own history to preserve their pre-Islamic artifacts. As another thread posted above yours demonstrates, Iran's mullahs have no such pride in their past. The Taliban demolished two ancient statues of the Buddha in Afghanistan not long before 9/11. Northern India (including what is now Pakistan and parts of Afganistan) was denuded of Hindu and Buddhist temples and idols by waves of Muslim invaders from 1100 to 1600.
