Greatest colossal statues of Ancient Greece

[@playyuh]

It’s crazy to imagine that the Parthenon Athena statue was still standing 800 years ago in the 1200s since the 400s B.C. It almooost reached renaissance time!! I wonder if anyone in the 1200s drew her? There might be actual paintings of how she truly looked somewhere out there!

Long gone- but the exhibit gathers the relevant information

History shall not be forgotten... Least we be damned to repeat it. Darius and crew are giving us the history. Thank you!

[@AncientRomeLive]

And we thank you!

As always on this channel, wonderful material. Please never stop sharing. We are collectively always hungry for more! Thank you so much Darius!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you! More on the way!!

It's always a thrill to witness the legacy of ancient artists like Phidias, especially when their work has largely been lost to time. The exhibit's immersive approach, including original locations, offers a unique time-travel experience.

Absolutely so timely to view this exhibit

Very interesting! As z painter, I'd love to see ancient Greek paintings, though I know very few exist.

[@AncientRomeLive]

A great topic! We do have some videos on paintings from Pompeii - but you mention a fascinating topic

[@marquese1960]

Let's hope they get back their ancient marbles one day.

[@Doctor_Faustus]

Splendid. I'd absolutely love seeing more on ancient art or architecture. Both topics are the crown jewels of antiquity.

[@Asgoga]

So many incredible facts i learned just from this one video. Thank you Darius and your team!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Our pleasure!

[@j.nilsson5362]

[@AncientRomeLive]

Glad you like them!

I am wondering - never having heard that a ton was gold used in making Ms. Athena Parthenos! Her current metal value would be $65 million dollars. That's my not particularly reliable figuring of today's value of a ton of the stuff. Surely what with gold's qualities, water gilding could offer virtually the same affect - enough to fool most ancient observers at any rate. I can't help being astonished that an image of that size, tying up so much wealth, would have remained unplundered for so very, very long. Many thanks for a fine vid on Phidias!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Yes they spent enormous sums of money!

[@MarthaArya-x1x]

Great!

Constantine would have the crown of helios but also the labarum on his right hand

[@marquese1960]

A ton of gold...OMG !!! How do you protect that from thieves --no wonder invaders robbed out the temples.😮
