<HTML>From the article:

<b>"Tourist attraction?

The Afghan statue is the brainchild of a Chinese businessman, Liang Simian.

Mr Liang runs a Buddha theme park near Leshan, which has its own ancient giant buddha figure. The 3000 buddhas in Mr Liang's theme park are all modern replicas, but that does not worry the tourists who come to see them. "</b>

Okay....

However, I'm far more inclined to believe that the original statues were made of a geopolymer...

(just kidding... got my mind stuck in airbubbles and the sandstone reference in the article set me off)
