Ancient History Taught Through Sculpture

Later, after a cool draft of Alpha, the local brew, Mrs. El Abuelo and I went to the Ancient History museum, not too far from the hotel. It is a wonderful exhibit, open and airy, with light pouring in through ceiling windows, illuminating the wonderful sculpture below.
I had never consider how much can be derived from sculpture simply by looking through guided eyes. Our guide, presumably a distant cousin of Melina Mercouri, former Minister of Culture of Greece and world famous movie actress. Who is now honored with a beautiful sculpture herself, not too far from the museum.
Greek sculpture started very simply with representations, with much detail, of human forms, around 1,100 years before Christ.


Later, when there was a realization that dress could be separated from skin, the sculptors started to experiement.
