Stuff in the past was generally prettier and more colorful than we think it was. Gothic cathedrals were originally pearly white, we only know them as black because the structure got polluted with filth over the years. Or bronze age warriors who were decorated like peacocks but modern media portrays them as pic related. I'm not even mentioning the general attire of the middle ages where noblemen looked like someone vomited the rainbow on them. I don't know where our modern obsession with grimdark shit began, I guess sometime around the Victorian age.

They have restored the cathedral of my town, and it as indeed been white ever since (though I'd say it is more ivory white than pearly white). But this is not quite the original look of it.
Originally, the cathedrals were painted too. Here is a reconstruction of what the cathedral of Amiens looked like. Likely, ancient monuments were painted too. People of ancient times were much fonder of colors than what we presumed.

The unpainted statues are at least 10x more aesthetically pleasing than they are when painted. I don't know why the Greeks and Romans didn't see that before they started painting. It's gotten to the point that I suspect "Greeks and Romans painted their statues" is just an overblown meme and maybe they did leave their statues unpainted.

What is considered "aesthetically pleasing" is subjective and changes over time. High quality paint was expensive so painted statues would be a massive show of wealth and oppulence. And it really shouldn't come as a surprise considering the Romans liked realism.

Only a certain group of specific theropods had feathers, most dinosaurs were pure scales.

>>2696385
how did you get that from carmen 16?

aurelius and furius have doubted catullus's manhood because his verses are very "delicate" (or effeminate, because often they are about men loving each other, including himself). he threatens to facefuck them and rape them in the ass, and points out how gay they are themselves
it's interesting because it also says that the poet and his poetry are not the same thing. if he sings about various forms of debauchery it doesn't mean he is an immoral person. in rome it was kind of important to follow the mos maiorum and not be sexually depraved, tho he kind of was

More seriously I was just bringing attention to a major problem native English speakers tend to have when constructing sentences in more highly inflected languages and Latin in particular.

Good Latin barely ever requires prepositions. If you use them a lot odds are you're committing a sort of English-to-Latin calque instead of constructing a natural Latin sentence.

This is all anthropics. During a period of long techh growth, _every_ generation will believe they are the luckiest so far. Being born at any time during the last 300 years dictates that you would believe this, but obviously most of those times get beaten out by the curretn day.

The only thing people saying "This is the best time!" tells you is the trend of history. If you were going to pick from the whole timeline, you'd probably be choosing the year 2100 at least.

Maybe not 2200 because nukes, value drift, or AI, but saying "This is the best time in history" is like saying "This is the highest I have ever been, what a momentous moment!" when you're halfway up a hill.

in latin you have to consider the whole sentence

"on the entire wall" might be "toto muro" or in the catullus verse from before "frontem totius tabernae" "on the front of the whole tavern"

"about you all" would be "omnibus vobis" you could use "de omnibus vobis" if you need to but if you construct the sentence in the right way it's perfectly understandable

There are multiple mentions of the phalanx, and the role of chariots in combat seems confused- Homer describes warriors riding into battle on them, and then pretty much immediately dismounting to fight hand-to-hand, which completely defeats the purpose of using a chariot in the first place. It's worth pointing out that the mentions of the phalanx are especially odd, because the soldiers start out in formation when a battle begins and then immediately break off into single combat.

No it doesn't, actually read that "analysis" for yourself and tell me if it makes any sense. In fact, ranking countries by happiness is a stupid thing in the first place because you can't measure it in any objective way.
Also, antidepressant use in Denmark is very high, how is that not a direct contradiction of happiness?

I'd just like to interject for a moment: 40k is grimdark only in its mood.
Most space marine chapters (as well as other alien species like the eldar) have colourful armours.

Now it's more "realistic" and even the colors are darker.

Ok. So, there were probably painted statues. But think about it: the statues we see painted are just reconstructions by scientists based on trace samples, not real works of art; you'd suspect that the actual painters would have had much more nuance than we see in the reconstructions today.
