During the great Flood of Bible times
The erosion process that forms buttes and mesas typically occurs over millions of years, as softer rock layers are eroded away, leaving behind harder layers that eventually become these distinctive landforms. The exact timing can vary depending on the geological context and the rate of erosion.

The discovery of fire is believed to have occurred during the Paleolithic Age, also known as the Old Stone Age, around 1.5 million years ago. Early humans likely discovered fire by harnessing natural sources such as lightning strikes or volcanic activity.
Without the Neolithic Revolution, society would likely not have transitioned to settled agriculture, leading to a continued hunter-gatherer lifestyle. This would have limited population growth, technological advancement, and complex social structures that emerged with agriculture. Additionally, cities and civilizations may not have developed as we know them today.
The inhabitants of Skara Brae, known as "Orcadians," likely abandoned the settlement due to a combination of factors such as environmental changes, decline in resources, or possibly external threats. The exact reason remains uncertain, but it's possible that a shift in climate or some form of social or economic disruption prompted their departure.
The peopling of the Philippine archipelago is believed to have occurred through multiple waves of migration from different groups of ancient seafaring peoples. These migrations likely originated from neighboring regions, such as Taiwan, Borneo, Indonesia, and mainland Southeast Asia. Over time, these distinct groups intermingled and formed the diverse cultures and ethnic groups present in the Philippines today.

Soil erosion!!
It is unlikely that any sort of stone attracts lightning. However, sandstone is fairly resistant to erosion, so it may form the tops of hills and buttes in some areas. High points are more likely to be hit by lightning than low points.

very bad t storms would be most likely to cause erosion. so would snow
more flooding (apex)
Chemical weathering will have dissolved some of the calcite of which the statue is composed, as well as acid rain having caused erosion, if there is acid rain occurring in the area.
