      Do you wonder what that face cream was made of? I think it probably included lead and other ingredients that definitely wouldn't be in modern facial cream! 🤔 (But...no man-made chemical additives at least!) Human ingenuity never fails to astound me.

      I'm highly suspicious of it being true, facetting wasn't around then last time I checked. If it's that old, expect a rounded, polished blue blob, not a glittery facetted stone like that

      You're being a bit Eurocentric there KAT, Indian semi precious stones show a form of facetting 4000yrs ago and Iranian precious stones from C1100 are clearly facetted.

    This is for the people who pretend to be educated while complaining about “diversity” in media or books set in the past. We used to travel much more than we think and while we weren’t as diverse as now, things were not as simple as old media portrays. For example there were black citizens in medieval- renaissance Europe, mostly ex slaves or their descendants from AlAndalus (Arabian country in the Iberian peninsula). Some quite successful, Like Juan de Pareja (Velazquez’s servant and later apprentice).

    • @lindaliriel5346
      @lindaliriel5346 3 года назад +6

      Indeed! A lot of ROMAN CITIZENS were black. Not ex slaves, just people of African areas that had been added and that became citizens, for example (Romans didn't care about skin colour but were more focused on class) and had very successful careers in all fields of Roman society.

    • @YsabetJustYsabet
      @YsabetJustYsabet 3 года назад +3

      @@lindaliriel5346 This was one of the reasons the Empire lasted as long as it did; the Romans came in and conquered, put down any rebellions *harshly* but began providing some of the advantages they gave their citizens very quickly, and made it clear that the populace was better off siding with them than against them (not always true, but tell that to the next generation to be born.) So long as you paid religious lip-service to the current Roman political rulership and religious dieties of the era and you paid your taxes, life could be pretty good. It could be pretty bad, though, if you were in their way and the need for slaves was high; it all depended. People tend to think of the Roman Empire being the same for century upon century, but it changed as much as any other longstanding political/cultural system, and luckily for us it was heavily documented.

    • @luckdragongirl
      @luckdragongirl 3 года назад +7

      Honestly, most people in the West are fine with diversity. It's just drummed up by people in charge to try to divide and distract. Would be cool if people would see past these political games and instead realize we should all band together and look more closely at the people running the country (I don't care what side you're on; I don't trust either. Honestly Democrat vs. Republican is another distraction. So is gay vs. straight. And now vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. They're trying to split us up because they know that we're weak when we fight each other. We're strong when we get along).

Incredible Byzantine wall paintings, wall frescoes in Pompei and other Roman sites. Such monumental work, when one considers paper hadn't been invented. A very rough form was created in 105AD by a Chinese monk from scraps of rags & fishing nets. It(a form of paoer) reached Europe in the 11th century. It was made if rice starch, but insects found it tasty... monasteries started the use of vellum (made from calf skin) to write & decorate those beautiful books in latin of books in th bible. Sorry. I love archaeology and the history of our world especially how things are made. As a kid I read encyclopedias when chores were done. Yeah, a weird kid & not a great student in school.

My sister is a goldsmith - I've met many artisans through her. Also historical recreationists, keeping weaving, blacksmithing and other skills alive. You won't find them in the malls but many showcase on the Web as well as fairs and festivals. I'd note too that the Web is preserving much antique knowledge. And, remember that the majority of past people were not artists or innovators; they were struggling to survive, to feed themselves and family - and often failing.

They wouldn't, and there are many other statues around the Vatican that they/the priests/popes Vatican claim are statues of prominent Christian figures when in fact the statues hail from Greek and Roman times and are statues depicting Greek or Roman gods half gods. When Christianity became the prominent religion of the area. The statues were renamed as supposed to be prominent biblical figures.

      Those same Catholics in Rome had a Pope who was offended by their penises. He had them chopped off (a total circumcision..lol) and replaced with a sculpted leaf to hide the horror if a weiner. Unbelievable, but what was his problem. I believe it was started in the 17th century by Pope Innocent the X & was continued until Pope Pius the IX
      in the 19th century, who did most of the damage. 2000 year old plus statues disfigured or completely by some god guy. There has to be a box of marble phalluses in the tombs of the Vatican's "storerooms somewhere!
