Apparently statues of a race that preceeded the Protheans, whom they assumed the Relays to be made by.

Makes sense. Filling your cities with statues of your own race seems a touch narcissistic to me, and "Prothy's" design at least shows that there was a logical transition/evolution that took place between Prothean and Collector, rather than those weird tentacle-face things turning into four-eyed insects for no goddamn reason.

All human civilisations have statues of famous or important historicle people, it's not narcissism (unless it's a dictator) it's usually highlighting someones achievements.

The only reason that I can think of is that Protheans are like ants. You have works and warriors that have variations.

Maybe the statues are their scientist caste and this one is like a warrior caste.

Would love a dev to explain this one.

How many human civilizations line their streets with countless statues of the same bloody man or woman? There's a difference between having one really big statue of Abe Lincoln and having two hundred statues of the schmuck who lives on the ninth floor of that middle-class apartment building over yonder, y'know.

Well I'm speaking from a British point of view and generally we only have high achievers on our streets.

[Raptr569]

Where does it say that?

True, it would be nice for Bioware to explain what those statues are though.

I suggest you look at the vision from the beacon on Eden Prime.

I've watched it numerous times and the ME2 version with the collector in the vision.

Still no help.

Actually, the whole thing seems rather analogous to the kouros type in archaic Greek sculpture to me.
