I maybe wasn't expecting Bernini level of realism, but "Augustus of Prima Porta" is around 2000 years old which greatly predates Renaissance tooling.


This predates that statute by at least 7,000 years or more.


It's kind of mind-blowing that we're three times closer to the Romans than the Romans themselves were to Gobekli Tepe. Gobekli Tepe is as much older than the pyramids, as the pyramids are themselves old.
