Do they show statue of liberty at the end of Yentl?
I can confirm from memory that when I watched the VHS release around 1998 that it did end with a dramatic pan around the ship to include the Statue of Liberty. In the DVD and subsequent digital distributions this shot has been replaced with a shot of Yenyl looking side to side. When people claim there is no Statue of Liberty they haven't watched it on VHS. I'm currently looking for an explanation for this discrepancy.

Why is it that an Egyptian sculpture statue is intact while Greek statue the head is missing?
Egyptian statues are older and resides mostly in countries whose warm and rugged climate has not been kind to conquering soldiers, therefore they have been left alone almost by default.
A key to the answer is the stone materials they are made of, granite is harder than marble, hence a bigger chance of it to stand time and weathering etc..
And mostly buried in the sand or in temples, the Egyptian and other granite/hardstoned artworks also have been safer than the greek artworks. The greek marble statues and artwork has been both weathered down and crushed by peoples overtaking the countries and thrown away their art.
If only all artwork would have been seen for its true glory, the world would be a more peaceful place.
Nowadays there is stone carving courses online, so if you like stone-cutting and art you can make some of your own "sustainable stone-art". :-D

Rust is formed by the oxidation of iron. The Statue of Liberty is made primarily out of copper, so it cannot "rust."

Copper is naturally a shiny pinkish-brown color, but when it oxidizes, it begins to turn a bluish-green.
