The Egyptians, who valued consisten

The Egyptians, who valued consistency and order in their society, abandoned the exaggerations of their ancestors and chose to use a mathematical approach to creating images of the body. They chose to show each part of the body from it’s clearest angle, becoming their recognisable style and preserved this style for thousands of years. When the Ancient Greek’s culture came into contact with the Egyptians, this ignited an artistic revolution across the Greek city states. The Greek culture wanted a more realistic representation of the figure for their temples and as with the Kritios Boy they measured and reproduced the body to exact dimensions in their sculptures.

He pulled from the mud
the figure of a woman, completely intact.

It was a statue and it was 25,000 years old.
