>Roman temples and buildings were painted using a range of pigments derived from minerals, plants, and other natural sources, including reds from ochre and cinnabar, yellows from ochre, blues from Egyptian blue and azurite, greens from green earth or malachite, and blacks from carbon. White pigments like lime wash or lead white were also used, creating a colorful palette.

I'm not Hindu, but actually, Hinduism is substantially more Aryan and Indo-European than this foreign Abrahamic nonsense. How strange.

Somewhat similar to this, although most Roman architecture lacked artistic reliefs withs the exception of some more significant buildings, as most Roman architecture was utilitarian in nature.

eeh not really, but regardless, I'm sure they tried making the outside look somewhat nice because insulae were very barebones on the inside, you had one room, a bed, a chamber pot, and that's basically it.

Everything is covered in a layer of limestone dust like it's a volcanic wasteland, everything is dirty and poorly made/constructed, and in general it's sufferingporn rather then a depiction of a functioning urban center.

As far as the village, it's less visually terrible but there's no farms and the people there have never heard of big cities, it's the anarcho-primitivist dsyfunctional eden to the urban-hedonist dysfunctional hellscape that is the big city. Both don't depict coherent Mesoamerican socities. The village pic is also meant to represent the broader sterotype of Mesoamericans being depicted as tribes in jungle villages in general.

Pic is central mexico rather then maya, but the difference between this reconstruction of a small town/large village and apocalypto is palpable

It doesn't need to be a contest.

No, not at all, but it's hard for me to really respond to that without you specifying in what way you think they were more sadistic for me to then confirm or debunk.

An easy example for me to cite though is the fact that, for example, captured enemy soldiers were integrated into the captor's family prior to being sacrificed, and in death were mourned as if they were natural family. There's obviously a degree of romanticism there that probably doesn't reflect reality entirely in many cases, but the excavations of the Great Skull Rack confirm that most victims who were brought into the city from other areas lived there for months or years before their sacrifice, and were in disproportionately good health and physical condition prior to their deaths, consistent with that familial integration or what we know about how deity impersonators were treated prior to their sacrifice

They contributed to the modern Europeans dna, they were Europeans just the same way. All Europeans descend from neolithic farmers just how they descend from the steppe.

Actually, a bit more complex than that. My guess though is that the Persian Gulf people (who become Mesopotamians and Syrians) were at least related to the Saharan Africans.

>Contrary to previous studies, we found no detectable Steppe-related ancestry in the Iceman. Instead, he retained the highest Anatolian-farmer-related ancestry among contemporaneous European populations, indicating a rather isolated Alpine population with limited gene flow from hunter-gatherer-ancestry-related populations. Phenotypic analysis revealed that the Iceman likely had darker skin than present-day Europeans and carried risk alleles associated with male-pattern baldness, type 2 diabetes, and obesity-related metabolic syndrome. These results corroborate phenotypic observations of the preserved mummified body, such as high pigmentation of his skin and the absence of hair on his head.

I don't and won't bury shit, I value intellectual honesty, and I'd be happy to talk about child sacrifices or the skull rack excavations.

You're just misunderstanding me: I said the "sadism" in the movie is over the top even for the Aztec, not the scale of violence, which are two different things.

The scale is simply the amount of violence and number of people killed (the Mexica probably sacrificed a few thousand people a year per the skull rack excavations, pic, so what we see in Apocalypto wouldn't be an everyday thing, but isn't totally unreasonable for special events), the sadism is the glee and zeal at intentionally causing suffering and pain in others.

The Mexica did large scale sacrifices, but they were generally not sadistic, for the purposes of causing pain and fear for the fun of it. As I mentioned, victims were usually well cared for, and the amount of ritual steps and procedures involved in sacrifice ceremonies also required a degree of cooperation on the part of the victim (which is another thing Apocalypto fucks up by presenting the village as an ignorant eden unfamiliar with other towns or cities around them, everybody in Mesoamerica would have mutual sacrifice practices they collectively understood and preformed, at least to a degree), though we also know attempted escapes etc were also a thing.

The exception is, ironically, child sacrifices to Tlaloc, where it was said the amount of tears you induced would bring that much more rain, so in those cases the sacrifice was intentionally drawn out and painful, though even then it's not like the priests would be cackling and getting their rocks off at torturing a kid the same way that in Apocalypto the entire city is basically treating the villagers getting murdered and hunted down like bloodsports and did shit like using the ballcourt as a human shooting range.

The Mesoamericans even HAD bloodsports in ritual boxing and certain types of ballgames, Gibson coulda used those

Also I say the scale of violence in the film isn't nessacarily unrealistic for the Mexica of the Aztec capital, but honestly it is if we're talking about the overall violence, suffering, etc across the city and not just the # of sacrifices in the ceremony, but that just loops back to what I said in >>18126590

The .12 GINI index score for Teotihuacan was revised to be like .20 or something (another example of my intellectual honesty for >>18126679). Still, the amount of the population that had large housing was exceptional even if the inequality between different classes of homes wasn't as low as previously thought: Most of the population was absolutely still living in palaces

There were some small, 1-3 room large homes typical of commoner residences in other Mesoamerican cities, but they're really, really the extreme minorty of structures, at least in terms of what % of the city's population lived in them. Refer to the maps in >>>/k/64464048 and >>>/k.64464071, you have to zoom all the fuck the way in to see the small homes and they're only 1-2 pixels big, in fact in one of the collages the more zoomed out view doesn't even render many of them as a single pixel and they're not visible at all.

I should also state that it actually came to my attention that Tenochtitlan also seems to have somewhat larger compounds for most of it's populations, not just 1-2 room structures, contrary to what I previously thought? Not nearly as big as Teotihuacano ones, but like 4-6 rooms that extended families or many small families shared at times, apparently, unless I am still misunderstanding some papers and figures like pic related (and I might be, for this pic, but i'm pretty sure I remember some of smith's papers establishing this and a structure like in https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S0264275112001382-gr9.gif is obviously a larger compound). I wonder if it's a somewhat common Central Mexican thing in general?

You know how Plato's knowledge doesn't even come from Hellenistic culture? The Greeks were seeded by Phoenicians (particularly Pythagoras) and Egyptians (such as Solon). Those other peoples would be more closely related to the pre-collapse Greece, and no I'm not talking about Mycenaean.

By the time I started posting Mesoamerican stuff, other people had already posted painted Hindu temples, and someone already posted Mesoamerican and Andean realistic sculptures. It was already "derailed", and I'd argue it was never really a thread just about the Roman's painted art so much as historical art and architecture that was originally painted anyways

Anyways if you find it that disruptive, >>18131686 will have to tell me if they want more examples of revivalist or replica Mesoamerican stuff that has paint: I was going to post some replicas of Teotihuacano murals (and a pyramid facade) in the Museo Nacional de Antropologia and in some in on-site museums at Teotihuacan

The finish isn't as smooth as it would have been, it's still a little overly matte and not as glossy (and lacks the metallic flakes some mesoamerrican paints had mixed in), but it's not nearly as bad as your poor roman example there, or the painted replicas of aztec stuff the Museo del Templo Mayor has

He’s not wrong. The Romans loved bright colors. If you want to get an idea for their preferences, you can find mosaics with their color intact because unlike paint, colored plaster, and the, the ceramic lasts.
