Think again
>The seal stone’s owner, known as the Griffin Warrior after the mythical animal depicted in his grave, was buried around 1450 B.C. He lived at a critical period when the Minoan civilization of Crete was being transferred to cities of the Greek mainland.
>Local chieftains, as the Griffin Warrior may have been, used precious items from Crete to advertise their membership in the Greek-speaking elite of the incipient Mycenaean civilization, the first on mainland Europe. Their descendants, a century or so later, built the great palaces at Pylos, Mycenae and Tiryns, places mentioned by Homer.
>Dr. Davis and Dr. Stocker believe that the seal stone, like other objects in the Griffin Warrior’s grave, was made on Crete. Work of such quality was not being produced anywhere on the Greek mainland at the time. The detail is so fine that it seems the engraver would have needed a magnifying glass, as would admirers of his work.
Greek naturalistic art is of "white Nordic" origins?

No, they just copied from egypt and canaanites
Are there any things like that from Egypt?
You know, I imagined that you would reply, and you're simply too uneducated to make that assertion, besides Canaanites were not even loosely approaching that artistic level during that time, about Egyptians, yes, they were the best artists around sculptures wise since the old kingdom
This is a contemproary Canaanite sculpture and it's a bad imitation of the ancient "pharaoh striking enemy captives" motif
Egyptian sculpture was good but they were never dynamic sculptures like the Minoan seals and later Greek statues
Yes and pic related is the Nordic guy that carried it with him.
Shut the fuck up retards
This certainly reminds me the battles from the Homeric epic poems, especially Achilles vs Hector. This was how i immagine that the battles in the war of Troy would have take place.
That pic is from egypt and before gr**k invasion so it was egyptians that made it
You are calling me uneducated?
For 1 piece of art, you are saying canaanite art wasnt high compared to others and that is wrong because egyptians had things like that
Canaanites had art like but it was destroyed
Pic related is from pre roman carthage and dont come telling me it was greeks that made it
For comparison, this contemporary pure "Nordic" art
What is this then
>For 1 piece of art, you are saying canaanite art wasnt high compared to others and that is wrong because egyptians had things like that
Canaantes=/=Egytpians
The sculpture you posted is from the 5th century bc, while what I posted is from the 15th century bc, a thousand years earlier, and is also way more advanced
My ancestor :)
Not dynamic
It's from 350 bc anyway, Hellenistic influence
You don't want to accept that others civ had those sculpture
I dont see anything advanced in that
Pic related is from 1800 BC
370 BC and how can be hellenistic influence?
It was the other way around
You can even see it in early greek art
1)It's Sumerian
2)It's made of clay
3)The Minoan one is dynamic, more detailed and made of fucking glass, much more advanced
>You don't want to accept that others civ had those sculpture
> posts Hellenistic sculpture from 350bc as a proof
lol, thanks for helping my argument that realistic, dynamic sculpture was born in Greece, read a book of art history if you get the chance, favela boy
What does this art represent?
It's from 100-50 BCE, it's a Hellenistic peice of art from the Ptolemaic dynasty,
en.wikipedia.org
>It's Sumerian
Its babylonian from 1800 BC
I see you are just trolling, good bye
>Hellenistic
Brainlet, did you even read the wiki article?
Read it then come back
still, 100-50 bc, under the ptolemaic dynasty, greeks
Lol wait
I posted the wrong one
Its amazing that you germanics believe that only greeks made realistic art
Still, Mesopotamian, not Canaanite, give it up.
See
I got confused, i was looking for this one
This one was before greek invasion
I read pic related and i get so mad, look st that shit, westerners believe that only greeks had civ
They think others civ were stupid and didnt do earlier what greeks made later
4th century bc Egypt vs 5th century bc Greek (pic related) lol
Canaanite have had civ from thousands of years, what do you think they were doing?
They built palaces and many greats things way before minoan and greek civ
Semitics did it in 2200 BC lol
They had inferior art, this is a fact
>Akkadian
>Canaanite
lol
>They had inferior art,
Lol
The problem is that you dont want to believe other civ had that art too because you see ancient greeks history as your history because you call yourselves european today
Its well know those lands saw more destruction than greece snd egypt combined, so of course you will find little evidence of their history
You'd be alughed at by any academician if you said something like that
Hundreds of sites have been excavated in the Bronze age Levant and no statue was ever recovered, and Mesopotamia has undergone as much if not more destruction, besides destruction doesn't vaporize statues
There isnt statues from seleucids and ptolemies kings today but that doesnt mean they didnt exist
Why?
Because they were destroyed so just like those statues were destroyed, canaanites art was destroyed too
Stop being so blocked and stupid, man
>There isnt statues from seleucids and ptolemies kings today but that doesnt mean they didnt exist
There are, you utter retard
And plenty of them too
Really looks like a Transylvanian Romanian I know.
There is a difference between some literally who king lacking a statue and some ENTIRE cultures and ENTIRE regions lacking them for the span of 1000 years
