Imagine you're a kid with a big block of clay, you can mold it easily, right? Well, ancient artists were like that kid, but instead of clay, they used stone. They didn't have drills or lasers, just simple tools like chisels and hammers. They worked carefully, little by little, to make huge statues. Over time, they figured out how to shape the stone from the outside in, almost like peeling an onion! So even without modern machines, they made statues that are still standing today.
Examples
