I apologize for the mistake. Let's reassess the statements.
Based on common knowledge about the discovery of ancient statues, particularly in Egypt, the true facts might be:
- Discovered by French soldiers in 1799 (referring to items found during the Napoleonic campaign, including artifacts that later contributed to the understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization).
- Dates back to around 2575 BC (relates to the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt, a period known for monumental sculpture).
- Eyes made of inlaid quartzite (many ancient Egyptian sculptures, particularly of important figures, were made with detailed inlays for features like eyes).
If you could clarify or provide more context about the specific statues or artwork you are referring to, I would be glad to assist further!
