This is a juxtaposition we might not have come up with on our own.  Ancient Hindu and Buddhist texts describe “automaton warriors” used to guard treasures and antiquities. These “automatons” were essential warriors controlled through a spiritual connection. Spiritual Robots–who knew? But where were these ghostly security guards when Grave Robbers Destroyed Noses On Statues So Spirits Couldn’t Come After Them? It made sense in a strange way; the spirits of the dead resided in their statues, so chopping off their noses would stop them from breathing. Dead again, supposedly. Takes some of the fun out of playing “Got your nose!” doesn’t it? (CM)
