Why was king zosers eyes not there anymore?

King Zoser's eyes are often depicted as missing in ancient Egyptian art, particularly in statues, due to the practice of removing inlaid materials such as lapis lazuli or glass to repurpose them. Additionally, over time, many artifacts have suffered from wear and damage, leading to the loss of their original features. This absence can also symbolize a deeper philosophical or spiritual meaning, reflecting the king's connection to the afterlife rather than the physical realm.
