Was there some voodoo or dark magic associate with it - probably given the language, and the breaking of the monument either destroyed or weakened some of its power.

Yea, it's a good thing that it fell, but Everything was not destroyed, however, what it was used for, and how it was viewed by both the artist and viewer (separate ideas/meanings) was hit hard

I'm wondering was there a deeper or secondary meaning than what's on the surface
