I love these two Open Culture stories:
“How ancient Greek statues really looked: research reveals their bold, bright colors and patterns”
Like most of us, I thought the statues and monuments we saw of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and others were a dull white or a boring sandy brown colour. It wasn’t until I traveled to Egypt a few years ago. The tour guide pointed out that of course the things we were looking at were painted in their original form. I realized we aren’t seeing these antiquities as they were originally made. These stories and videos help us imagine what they actually might have looked like.
Excellent videos.
For history buffs, check out the podcasts of Andrew Wyman. His Decline of Rome was brilliant.
Gorgeous. I remember HBO’s miniseries “Rome” handling this sort of thing very well. Their depiction of the ancient world’s structures was colorful and vibrant. It set a great mood for portraying cultures that were still near their peaks.
