The following statements about sculptures from ancient Egypt are true:
1. **Sculptures changed in style significantly over the span of 3,000 years.** - This is true as styles and techniques evolved through different periods of ancient Egyptian history.
2. **Figures look stiff and have symmetry.** - This is also true, as ancient Egyptian sculptures typically exhibit a rigid pose and an emphasis on symmetry, which was intended to convey order and permanence.
3. **Artists used formulas.** - True, ancient Egyptian artists adhered to specific artistic conventions and formulas to maintain a consistent style across different works.
4. **They were made to last an eternity so they don't have protruding parts.** - This statement is somewhat misleading.

However, they were designed to ensure stability and reduce wear.
