We've had historical photos and waifu threads. Lets a thread with art (mostly modern) that recreates the life of the Ancients. I'll post what I have.

Roman apartments. They were 9 stories tall.

Recreations of war or armies are fine too. I think this ones early Roman.

More Turks.

Reconstructions of ancient people are acceptable too. This is Cleopatra. Say something nice about her.

Some Persian stuff.

Rome

This one was too cool not to save. Even if it was a bit on the nose.

Armour (if its an artistic reconstruction) is fine as well.

Last one. Scotland I think. I hope you guys enjoy these and post some of your own. I'll check up on the thread a bit later.

so you're telling me the scots had anime
I have to say. Nice dump.
>>2979843
You're correct on the first one but I'm not sure with the second.
>>2980092
No ones interested I guess :L
>>2980092
OK
Also, more Babylon
http://kadingirra.com/
>>2980103
Thats really cool, thanks!
>>2979594
I believe this might be Urartu
>>2980107
No problem, I was going to post it along with the earlier question. I believe this is the other project by the same person:
http://www.byzantium1200.com/
Here is a tour of 3d Rome that I've watched a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrIEwjgfbYs Try listening to Pines of the Appian Way while watching it for immersion. They really synch well if you start at a certain point. I know, that's odd but it's true.
>>2979554
Why is there a black guy in ancient Babylon?
>>2980249
A slave or a slave that has been freed?
>>2979558
This is Crete, possibly meant to be Minoan but the men's outfits suggests Sea Peoples.
>>2980266
>>2979558
Actually on reflection I think it's meant to depict a Minoan slave girl who has been taken to Sardinia by raiding Sea Peoples.
>>2980266
Thats a nice one. Thanks for contributing.
>>2980266
That's Sardinia, it looks like a Nuraghe
>>2980281
The tower could easily be nuragic, and the guy in the two=horned cap could easily be a Sherden, but the girl is Minoan and the guy with the feathered headcap is a Mycenaean or a Philistine, so my guess would be that the picture is of "Sea Peoples".
>>2980291
Nuragics wore feathered caps too, pic related.
The armor is also Nuragic
>>2980251
Babylon didn't have black slaves
>>2980369
It's hard to tell but it seems more likely he is a guard or temple attendant. A traveller would be wearing more clothes, a slave is unlikely to be adorned with gold, he's some kind of exotic trophy.
>>2980397
That's really good. I'd like to see more Egypt stuff.
>>2979554
HOL UP
i must be a fuckin retard but i cannot imagine day to day life of an ancient human. lets say you live in Babylon, what time do you wake up? what do you fucking do all day, when do you go to sleep?
why hasn't somebody recreated what it'd be like to live like this, nothing fascinates me more
>>2981085
you should stop evaluating subconciously the life of an ancient human with a relatively 'Modern" life.
An average modern life has things (illusory or not - I am not discussing if) such as a tight schedule, a lot of obligations, a lot of work-involved activities, family, friends, third-party stuff, bank accounts, car service, dog, cat, etc.
An ancient person (average) maybe.. what? Had some work-of-the-mill stuff to do; either he was a peasant, or some city neet, apprentice in better cases.. he would wake up depending on what he had to do - if he had to do. Some searching for some easy coins, to eat, some to travel, some devoted to religions, some drunks and brothel-goes, betters, mercenaries, etc.
Now that I'm writing this I actually can't understand how you cannot visualise this stuff. Maybe watch some movies, I dunno.
I recommend Rome miniseries for this type of stuff.
Greek Massalia
>>2981105
>Now that I'm writing this I actually can't understand how you cannot visualise this stuff.
It might have something to do with the fact that you didn't bother to describe it in any visual way, relying instead on barebones descriptions. if you're going to be so unhelpful at least be less of a smug cunt
>>2979546
My city in Roman times.
>>2980291
Women in Sardinia dressed this way too.
El Mirador, Preclassic Maya city 600 bc, at one time had a population between 100,000-250,000.
Multiple bait/pol threads are still up with a lot of replies. All genuine historical discussions on this board is dead. Great.
Really neat thread! I like the Egyptian and Babylonian stuff a lot.
Is there any more Mayan or East Asian shit
>>2980593
Is there any historicity to this event?
>>2979567
Wrong as fuck, everything in the Insula was vaulted, those square rooms are modern. Enough of them remained in use well into the 20th century annon, why the fuck did the artist get it wrong.
>>2980620
whats going on?
>>2982490
is that the biggest pyramid in the world they recently discovered in the jungle??
I really like this one. Venice of the americas.
>>2982379
And here's mine Philipopollis, modern day Plovdiv. A lot of the roman infrastructure is intact bellow the current street level - roman streets, the roman sewers, the entire ground floor with mosaics and hypocaust heating of some of the residential buildings. I have a really cool book related to the topic showing the places as they were and as they are now, side by side, I can post some pictures if you like.

Anyone got anything on the Guanche people? I'm really curious on what they may have actually look like after reading the early sightings

>>2981085
The time you wake up depends entirely on what kind of work you did. Early civilizations were possible because of people specialising in a certain type of work, allowing more productiveness My best bet is that everybody who didn't do some kind of job that was necessary during the night would wake up with sunrise, on his biological clock. He'd then buy or eat some food, probably bread, or some sort of cereal, and go to work. Work could be anything. Tailor, baker, butcher, perhaps even banker, trader, or scribe, with the latter belonging to a higher social class, in all likelihood. You probably had a shop in your own house and people would come to your house for goods or services. Depending on the size of the city, it would most likely be those from your direct neighbourhood, or from across town, when you were very skilled. You'd spend the day selling your goods for money or food and spend it yourself on food or other things you needed but didn't have the skill to make yourself. Between work you'd socialise, and go to bed by or after sundown.
>>2984789
Looks a bit like Split in Croatia, what is it?
>>2985129
It's Diocletian's palace. When the area was invaded by Slavic tribals the locals set up shop in the ruins of the palace and turned it into the modern city of Split.
>>2981085
>why hasn't somebody recreated what it'd be like to live like this, nothing fascinates me more
If only the video games industry wasn't so focused on violent power fantasies so much and had an appreciation for the real world we would have some way to experience this.
>>2980620
Very historically inaccurate painting though, the outfits look like roman robes.

i don't think that's rome
Love these pictures, but even if they were accurate, they'd depict maybe 10% of what life was like at a time when 90% of the population was busy farming. I wonder how much the life of an ancient Hittite farmer differed from that of a early medieval Frankish farmer 2000 years later, maybe the tools were better but both would take all day working the fields and tending to the animals, then be spent in the evening with not much of a social life outside the village.
>>2982490
those numbers are inflated, no precolombian mesoamerican city was bigger than teotihuacan with 125 000 inhabitants
>>2986994
>>2987002
Tenochtitlan had twice that population.

Now here's one of the great "what if?" of history. Had Caesar not intervened in Gallia, it is likely that the Greek colonies along the coast would have spread their culture to the whole of Gallia, as indeed they were well on the way to doing, leading to a "Greco-Gallic" civilization that could have withstood Reme.

What type of person makes these posts? They're like Indians on a Western woman's Instagram comment section.
>>2979610
That looks so historically accurate.

Did the Romans make routes on a road for carts like that?
Also what are the stepping stones? A zebra crossing?

The Ptolemaics were Greeks tho

Yes for both questions.

We have hippy reenactors in my city who act out Celtic festival ritual drama e.g the may queen and the green man for Beltane and the death of the may queen and her descent to the underworld on Samhain. (Halloween). Not necessarily accurate but I really really enjoy watching it every year.

Gotta make dosh, though. Your typical action shooter sells better than a game that focuses on presenting a realistic and sober examination of how life was in a certain time and place. Same reason that summer blockbusters are superhero films and Transformers.

I actually remember thinking this while traveling in the Indian country side. I would imagine across human history MOST people's lives have probably been very similar to each other's.

Not sure if this is sarcasm.....
>>3006506
Lol no, I am a bit fatter but at least not ginger and less pasty. Here is a reconstructed face from a Pictish body found that had been brutally killed to death.
>>3011390
Here is a woman from the same study. Standard Scottish pudding face
Hawt.
Also hawt.
Not so hawt. (Modern day reenactment/larping )
>>3011422
Not hawt but probably more realistic.
>>3014555
Maybe if she was royalty. Common women didn't have access to that much luxury back then.
>>3011422

DESU probably more realistic in the sense that she has a standard Scottish pudding face and underneath red dyed dreadlocks you can see the natural ginger on her sideburn.
