I Know The Real History Of These Things - Tumblr Posts

Here are some sculptures from antiquity that fill me with delight.

1-3: The Guennol Lioness (aka Beefy Furry of Old)

4: Alabaster statue of who is presumed to be Ishtar, goddess of fertility, love, war, sex, power, and destruction, as well as the planet Venus. 

5-6: Sumerian couple. Anime is forever. 

7-8: Reaction images.

9: A Hylian shopkeeper.

10: The Emperor Constantine, lesser known Disney prince. 

The great thing, humanity has been able to create pretty accurate, representational art for a long time. It’s possible these were stylistic choices.
