is there a way to find ayatan stuff faster?

Nope, just the weekly mission, to my knowledge.

They randomly appear in any mission, not sure if some missions better than others, but you want loot detector** and to run around opening lockers (for the gems) while checking out the marks (could be a treasure). But they are just rare, in missions.
you can also get one pretty regularly as a sortie reward.

Your main source of endo is probably going to just be trash mod conversion. Take one of the looter frames out for a spin (nekros, hydroid, khora, ?? others have a ++ extra loot ability) and grab all the mods you can find (here again loot detector marks them on your map if you kill at a distance).

**this is on your pet, of course.

Once you unlock the whole base star chart, you get access to an endless higher level mission called Arbitrations.
Every rotation you get a chance to get Endo or Ayatan Sculptures.
Rotation A - Endo x900 - 44%
Ayatan Ayr - 9 %
Ayatan Sah - 9%
Ayatan Valena - 9 %
Rotation B - Endo 1200 - 44.5%
Ayatan Piv - 12%
Ayatan Vaya - 12%
Rotation C - Endo x1500 - 33%
Ayatan Orta - 20%

Other then Arbitrations, Sorties can give you Endo x4000 or Ayatan Anasa Sculpture.
Also the new weekly Archon Hunt gives you Endo x8000 or Ayatan Anasa
You can also scrap extra duplicate mods for Endo.

And just keep an eye out as they can spawn randomly in any missions.

Do you want ayatans specifically or just endo? Because it's easier to farm just plain endo than ayatans.

Ayatan sculptures aren't all that rare — the hard part is finding them. If you're still early in your progression through the game, your best option is probably to search every mission map very thoroughly. About one mission in seven will have a sculpture. Unfortunately, this is very time-consuming, which leads us to...

Sorties! You can also obtain Ayatan Sculptures from sorties; the Anasa Sculpture (also known as the Orokin Trash Can) has a 28% drop chance. When fully socketed, it is worth more endo than any other sculpture.

Once you've cleared the starmap, you can start doing arbitrations. Arbitrations drop a LOT of endo and sculptures (as Ghost helpfully points out above). Arbitrations also drop several other resources that will help you transition to more advanced content: Vitus Essence (for galvanized mods), Adaptation, Aura Forma blueprints, and lots of sculptures and endo. (And you'll need that endo for ranking up Primed, Galvanized, and Riven mods.)

So my advice is, right now, you should do sorties regularly; doing a few every week will get you the resources you need to grow your power and prepare for deeper content. Work on clearing the starmap whenever you feel like it; once the starmap is cleared, keep an eye out for arbitrations that look fun or provide bonuses to frames and weapons you like.

Most of all, I encourage you take your time, and try not to be too "goal-oriented." Warframe is more a journey than a destination, and trying to "finish" all of it is like trying to drink from a fire hose. Good luck, and have fun!

Go do Zariman missions, You get Parallax parts. Build that and use its air support. Shows all collectibles in 150m radius. With intrinsics on railjack leveled up, cooldown goes down to 5min. Helps a lot with syndicate medallions,voidplumes, ayatan statues and about everything.

Arbitrations drop most ayatan statues, but if you dont have it open or dont want to do it, Zariman bounties drop endo a lot and often.

[Midas]

Railjack is a great way to get endo as well. Any gear you find can be broken down for a decent amount.

You can do the Maroo's mission once a week to get an Ayatan Sculpture as reward.
You can farm Ayatan Sculpture from Arbitration missions.
You can trade Ayatan Anasa with players, usually it cost only 10 Platinum each.

Every mission have 50% chance to spawn an Ayatan Sculpture around. You can run all missions you do with mods that gives you extra Loot Radar, mods like Loot Detector, Primed Animal Instincts and so on, the Ayatan Sculpture will show on the mini-map the same way as crates, so it's good to have some AoE that can break crates, like Limbo's 4 (Cataclysm).

The way I like to farm for Ayatan Sculpture is playing Syndicate missions, since I'm going to hunt for all medallions, I often find a lot of Ayatan Sculptures. Now that DE released Zariman and there's the Plumes to hunt, I also often find a lot of Ayatan Sculptures.

It looks like Ayatan Sculptures are rare because it's hard to find, but it's only hard to find because you aren't looking for me, usually you are speed running missions and you don't take the proper time to look for it.

[Donitsi]

I'm farming Ayatan Sculptures in Arbitration when I want Endo. Arbitration missions can be a crazy Ayatan sea sometimes.

[Lindo [EN][ES]]

We'll need 150k Endo to rnak up the new Archon Mods (30k each)
So... Yeah, start the Endo farm.

[2GenL]

The sculptures can drop in missions rarely. The stars drop from crates by a small % chance. Plus the weekly mission

Do railjack missions and scrap found parts - stacks endo very quickly

I did... Actually, I stacked 1,800,000 Endo doing a lot of things to rank up my mods... Now I have only 50k and I'm so tired to do anything that I think I'm gonna just simply play the game. Eventually I'll have 150k and rank up those mods. Maybe I go Arbitration, it's fun, and I need to do the... Essence... Steel, no... Not Steel Essence, the other one... Essence... The Black Nintain Extract... What's the name? Damn, I don't remember...

VITUS ESSENCE.
