Which empire had the coolest aesthetic? I like Byzantium
EL IMPERIO CATÓLICO DE LA MONARQUÍA HISPÁNICA EN EL SIGLO XVII, FINALES DEL XVI, Y PRINCIPIOS DE EL XVIII (BARROCO, FINALES DE EL RENACIMIENTO, Y JUSTO ANTES DE EL ROCOCÓ).EL BARROCO HISPÁNICO FUE EL EPÍTOME DE LA CIVILIZACIÓN EN SENTIDO UNIVERSAL; TODO HA SIDO REMEDO, O PÁLIDO REFLEJO, DESDE ENTONCES.
Byzantine, Russian, Tang and Song dynasty.
>>18431873The ottomans did too lol
The Aztec
>>18432817I decided not to drool over the Aztec empire in this thread because I felt I had been doing too much of that lately, but now that you've already brought it up, yeah. Super underrated.VGH
Victorian Britain. So cool Japan uses it as royal attire to this day.
>>18432835Cargo cult
>>18431873The incas are my personal favorite aesthetics wise
>>18431904you're not spanish sanchez you're just a lowly mestizo
>>18432835lame and ugly
>>18432891Nah it was utter kino
>>18431873What do you think her little holes smell like?
>>18432817>The AztecImagine the smell.
>>18433262The temples apparently stunk of blood, but the rest of Mesoamerican cities were very cleanAlso while some of Pierre Joubert's art is somewhat accurate, that specific piece isn't: The clothing is a mix of cultures and nonsense elements alongside some authentic ones, and the buildings lack paint and plaster
>>18432835bro unironically picked the worst periodVictorian Britain was so disgusting and ugly that people still mistake the middle ages for being the same
>>18431904Reminder that you're not and will never be Spanish. You're a spic from the USA.
>>18433631>Saying bro unironically>Proceeds to make the most ignorant/retarded post imaginablePotteryBritish victorian aesthetics are still seen as the gold standard. The suit was popularised in Victorian Britain and the idea of the gentlemen as a model of the civilised man still perstists even now
>>18432835Thread pretty muchDespite the fact that Victorian aesthetics are still so influential today I find it odd how unappreciated it is in the wider scheme of thingsIt was a period that obsessed and celebrated beauty more than any other, had a greater apprieciation of history and culture than any other time and had the material wealth to back it up and create architectual, artistic and fashions which rival any period. Although I personally would say the Edwardian period is the great crystalisation of all these things
>>18432817LARP
>>18433734What does that mean in this context?Are you accusing the reconstructions of not being accurate? If so then here's 80+ photos of ruins and archeological maps showing that the architectural style in those reconstructions matches Aztec and Teotihuacano structures:https://pastebin.com/MsiYXN3L
>>18432832Cool but looks unrealistically too clean
>>18433771All the Conquistadors talk about their cities being extremely clean, the bigger issue with that image is that the layout is extremely outdated
>>18433262>>18433771I don't know why people keep saying this. The stairs of the great temple were famously bloody but otherwise it was one of the most cleanliness obsessed cultures on the entire planet, they bathed like 4 times a day and had a giant government funded network of highly respected public sanitation workers. The Spaniards who visited all remarked on how spectacularly clean everything was compared to cities in Europe
>>18432817So awesome!
>>18433554weird to see people living in stone cities yet wearing ooga booga monkey man loin cloths.
>>18433777>All the Conquistadors talk about their cities being extremely clean>>18433778>The Spaniards who visited all remarked on how spectacularly clean everything was compared to cities in EuropeNot an high bar considering how filthy European capitals were at the time.
>>18433810I mean, they mostly didn't
>>18433927Didn't know they had christian mangas back then
