In these pictures you have an example of how stones sculpted in Ancient Egypt were re-used again for a Roman Basilica in el Minia.
On the one side you see reliefs of ancient Egyptian symbols. If you flip the stone 90% you will hide the Egyptian reliefs and get the Ancient Roman reliefs (second picture). Even in antiquity they would dismantle the old to build the new.
