    In the cycles of the art world, artistic styles progress over time and new innovative techniques embody an era, but the past periods never truly fade from the mind of the artist, hence periods like the Renaissance, a rebirth of an older era of art. However this retrospective obsession with art can meddle up an art history timeline if a statue is not properly dated to the correct era. This is case the regarding the Piombino Apollo, a statue found at sea in 1832 with a complex history of study where it eventually made its way to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statue looks extremely archaic, like a kouros, but some more advanced stylistic evidence on the statue contradict the earlier claim regarding an archaic date and places it in a later Hellenistic one.…

    This statue is outside of Beaver Stadium at Penn State University, and it was going to be taken down because of the recent scandal that had taken place.

    The Funerary Monument of Flavius Agricola is a Roman marble piece by Antonine that is now on display in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The sculpture was first found in 1626 under the floor of the Vatican when Bernini’s famous altar was being put up. After the monument was found, it was added to the collection of Cardinal Bernini. In the sculpture, Flavius Agricola is laid out in a semi relaxed position on what appears to be the lid of a coffin that has had a high back and a high side at his head and at his feet.…

    The sculpture I’ve picked depicts a woman swimming (debatable) as she holds an ibex or gazelle shaped dish, and it is almost as long as a hairbrush. It nests in a glass case with other pieces of the ibex motif just a few turns away from the Hatshepsut statuary room. The purpose of this essay is to detail the statuette’s properties, hopefully finding how the properties display specific qualities of Egypt in its eighteenth dynasty. I chose this item because I couldn’t help but make the connection of the item’s cosmetive purpose and ancient Egyptian’s frequent use of makeup, particularly kohl, which they rimmed around their eyes to protect them from the brutal sun’s glare. It is made of alabaster and greywacke, and the ankles and feet of the…

    The top of the statue is the head of the Hatshepsut. Unfortunately, the majority of the head was destroyed, and there is only a little part of the headdress and an ear left. The headdress that on the back of the head seems like an arch or half round. The statue is not realistic because although the ear was connected to the face, it was carved out of the headdress. Also, the ear of the statue was too high, and it should be the same level of the eyes if it is a realistic sculpture.…

    In the Mystery Cemetery excavation, all attributes and artifacts are greatly interconnected and useful in order to form logical inferences and observations regarding age, sex, and status. Quick assumptions from individual artifacts would be impossible seeing that one object leads to another, which then correlates to my conclusions for every grave site. The most important grave site that allows all of my observations to be plausible is Burial 10. Because of Burial 10, I am able to determine the sex and status of each burial. Differentiating between age is a matter of skeleton size and its correlation with the type of artifact each are buried with.…

    But, I would like to add something-many believe we learn something from statues and I hope that is true, but I know many just glance. Maybe in the place where the statue stood there should be a sign that says what was once here, the history of that person/event, and why it was removed. Basically, I want a plaque that says we learned something. It is now taking us far too long to realize we cannot change the…

    Just days shy of Halloween, archaeologists in Bulgaria have made a fitting discovery: a skeleton “vampire” grave—metal stake in its chest and all. Professor and archeologist Nikolai Ovcharov found the creepy burial during excavations at the ruins of the ancient Thracian city of Perperikon, in southern Bulgaria, close to the border of Greece. Referred to as the “Bulgarian Indiana Jones,” Ovcharov has dedicated his life to unearthing mysteries of ancient civilizations. “We have no doubts that once again we’re seeing an anti-vampire ritual being carried out," Ovcharov told The Telegraph. In an attempt to prevent “bad” people from rising from their graves and haunting the living – The Walking Dead style - stakes were driven through their corpses, according to Ovcharov. "…
