Indonesia's "hundred-year-old" Gundam stone statue attracted a tweet from the director of "Gundam 00"

Recently, a netizen revealed that he accidentally discovered a stone statue that resembled Gundam while traveling in Indonesia. According to local people, this stone statue has a history of hundreds of years.

Locals said that the stone statue has existed since the Majapahit Empire era. If this is correct, it does have hundreds of years of history. However, looking at the shape, could it be that the "Mobile Suit Gundam" that debuted in early 1979 was based on this?

Let’s put aside the issue of who is right and who is wrong for now. What is very interesting is that the director of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" Seiji Mizushima also obviously paid attention to this news and he even retweeted a tweet.

"What's wrong (laugh)"

I wonder what everyone thinks about this matter. Is this large stone sculpture a historical relic or a large figurine?
