@stewartmackay 2 года назад

I live on Rhodes. If you go down to the harbour on each pier of the old harbour is a column with a deer on top. The deer is the symbol of Rhodes. These columns supposedly sit where the feet of the Colossus stood, if he were to be straddling the harbour entrance. However, some people I have spoken to say the statue stood on the hill where the medieval palace of the knights sits today. I was also told that there was no cloak on the statue, an old trick often used to create a third leg and hence a tripod. So with only two legs, and the earthquakes we get here, he supposedly snapped at the knees and the Rhodians believed they had angered Helios by creating his likeness. It lay for 300 years before being sold for scrap to a Syrian trader. How accurate that is, I don't know, but I like to think it's a possibility. Thanks for the very well made video.

The small castle of Saint Nicholas at the end of the peer that forms one side of Mandraki harbour. That circular building has much, much older plinths in some of is window spaces. These plinths are slightly curved from end to end. If you work out the circumference of the circle these window plinths would have created would be the same size as Saint Nicholas Castle, this giving a perfect base for the colossus to stand on. As I write this I see the video is just speaking about it now. Lol. I lived there for 7 beautiful years.

@swampdonkey1567 Год назад

@@arcotroll8530 actually kratos is I can't remember the exact thing he represented I believe it was strength or fighting (but not war), I don't remember exactly he was very loyal in mythology. Oh and technically most pagans belived other panthones were either different gods for different lands or just remaining of there gods. For example the Greeks thought the Odin was zeus but neccesarily all the nordic gods, there were even interactions with celtic gods and greek gods, generally celts, germans, nordics, and Greeks and much more agreed that each others were real. It wasn't really till Rome when gods started to be merged even then they still belived some gods were still separate, many pantheon and even Jesus* (going by one respectable Roman historian who belived he either learned magic in egypt or was a weak God) (Heck many Christians aleast in the past agreed pantheon were real beings, just usually demons). This practice was very common outside Europe in asia, Shinto and Traditional chinese religions had similar relations and most notably Hinduism. So technically a Kratos (not the game one) exists in greek mythology and probably nordic, kinda, idk if any direct mentions cause he is isn't considered very important, but if you asked a nordic they would probably say he exists but was weaker then there equivalent.

The ancients also observed the 4 primary lunar phases of roughly 7 (~7.4) days each, thus the 7-day week and 4 weeks in a 'moonth'. The lunar year + 7 day week + 4 days = solar year. Etc.

@morganrobinson8042 3 года назад

The Greeks were very comfortable with male sexuality, but they were most likely staring at his junk too, just for different reasons. Don't let classists fool you; ancient art was as much about fart jokes, commercialized sexuality, and spending exorbitant amounts as conspicuous consumption with no thought to artistic merit as much then as it is now. A fair chuck of nude sculpture was probably as intentionally sexualized as my Grandfather's explicit nude of Leto and the Swan that he hung in his living room because he was an archetypical dirty old man. People don't change, we just lionize ancient people because temples and large scale public works are what lasts enough to hear about, and tend to be a little more self-possessed.

They just need to make it the same height and as close as they can guess.

This video tingles my mechanical engineering and my art history training, fun fact: most of the Hellenic statues have capes to act as subtle support for the statues, that's because the human form only stands due to dynamic systems i. e. muscles which a statue 🗽 doesn't have (sub fun fact it's also the reason insects spring on their back when they die), it's only with the innovation of adding iron bars inside the statue that we start to see dynamic poses in Hellenic statues.

As a sculptor, who has sculpted many large statues up to 15 and 20 feet. One was actually 40 feet tall. I sculpted an 83’ statue for Disney, it was Kha from Jungle Book, so it was wrapped around one of the castle spires on Cinderella’s castle in the Orlando park, so the spire was the support. A made a 15’ Zeus for Disney also, it his toga was wide enough at the base to support him. The 12’ Hercules though had a cape, but not large enough to reach the ground, so it took a steel skeleton inside of him to support him. The problem with the human form is that the ankles are far too thin to support a statue without capes, togas or some other cloth. I sculpted a 16’ Neptune and 12’ Venus once and the Neptune was holding a cloth behind him. Holding a corner of the cloth in each hand and the cloak draped just below his ass, but was attached to the back of his le and draped to the ground for support. Venus was standing inside of a shell, so the back of the shell was used to attach to the back of her legs to support her. We usually try to work in cloth to accomplish the support for the human statutes because the ankles would snap off without a large steel skeleton inside.

I mean, it was a normal progression... modern Islamic society though doesn't like to remember how they started out though, I suppose because it is so inflammatory to some.

"KOLOSSOS" in Greek was derived from the word "KOLLIZO"..... meaning "JOINED TOGETHER", usually by "GLUING" since "KOLLOS" was the word for "GLUE". "KOLLIZO" is also the origin of our English word "COLLIDE" referring to two or more things crashing TOGETHER. I have to SERIOUSLY doubt they actually "GLUED" the giant statue together BUT, it MIGHT refer to a form of CEMENT they used to keep the outer bronze plates STUCK TO the rubble-filled iron framework.

Contemporary sources suggest Zombies in the era were common, and fought using every weapon available: entire cities were littered with sufficient infestation so as to render them mostly uninhabitable. The leaders and rulers created media for the purpose of teaching their populations how to fight back, and defeat differing strains of Zombie plauge, and ready their citizens to tolerate and understand the meaning of 'acceptable losses' for even a single infected scratch could cause friends or family to turn into blood thirsty monsters and spread the Epidemic.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Colossus had a spear of a shield that it could rest on to stop itself from falling over--especially as it was a commemoration of a military victory.

@hedgehog3180 3 года назад

Well it wasn't really commemorating a military victory as much as it was a way to give thanks to a deity for a military victory. A spear also does seem unlikely unless it was posing with it since that would have added more weight. I think we can safely rule out a shield since the shape of a shield from the time would probably actually make it more unbalanced instead of providing support. It would probably have stood fairly straight up as that allows for the simplest transfer of weight down to the base and the pose where it's shielding it's eyes does seem likely however that obviously leaves one hand free. It could have had a spear in that however Helios wasn't a war god so it wouldn't make much sense to depict him as a spear and if instead he's meant to resemble the ideal of athletic beauty then it's probably very likely that he would have instead had a cape draped over his arm, that or they might have used a plant to provide support like a lot of other statues from the period did.
