identity depends on source - some say this is caligula's mother/nero's grandmother; others say this is caligula's sister/nero's mother

Daily reminder that Minoans had a full plumbing system and a heating system (2500BC) while versailles palace (1715AD) had nothing. Minoans were talking hot baths and used toilets while the French aristocracy shitted on open holes and used perfume so they can avoid taking bath for 3 months or more

Why do they have such curly hair if they're white?
Jordan Sanders
Mediterraneans
Tyler Hall
Have you tried to chisel individual hairs in stone? It's probably not all that easy. And even the women have such curls in most of these statues.
Built by French.
Asher Rivera
Let me guess, their empires and kingdoms fell shortly after this was made?

Why do I enjoy these so much? It's mimicking reality as hard as it can but shouldn't that be boring because I see reality everyday all around me? Or is it because it's trying to mimic the ultimate beauty in reality which is only an ideal and doesn't exist?

" The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907"
It's barely a hundred-year-old building. Why bring it here?

Built by the French.
Jeremiah Garcia
blue eyes and white skin?
HOL UP!
Dominic Ward
Perhaps it is a simple understanding of the difficulty involved. For the record I think some of the renaissance artists surpassed the technical skill of the Greeks and Romans, pic related.
Ryan Robinson
Joshua Torres
I agree
James Gomez
>Or is it because it's trying to mimic the ultimate beauty in reality which is only an ideal and doesn't exist?
this.
classical antiquity aimed for the ideal: the good life, the best individual, and the best society. of course they fell short, but their greatest accomplishments were all in pursuit of the earthly ideal.

Parker Sullivan
>I think some of the renaissance artists surpassed the technical skill of the Greeks and Romans
I'd say there's no competition at all. Renaissance era artists had far more knowledge and experience and better tools and materials. They were standing on top of giants, so to say. Some renaissance era art is almost unbelievably beautiful.
Levi Brown
Your common sense should have stopped you, Julian.
Chase Peterson
Mabey political or economic support buy like i said there was a documented rr construction of it
Jeremiah Torres
This is called "The Chosen One" representing a prophecy of some ancient gods, sculpted in 810 BC.
Anthony Foster
It's hard to believe something like this could have been done without robots and lasers. Or without any machines at all. 300 years ago.
