What technology or tool did they possess in the second century AD to be able to carve this statue on the hardest types of marble with such amazing precision? This is not possible unless they have advanced technologies. Now, despite the claim of technology and progress, we do not see such sculpture at the present time, https://image.nostr.build/ce7e6c04c3f817c2a46a12f93a4d01174617f8e997cc3310eac1e19c755887fa.jpg
We know exactly what tools Φειδίας was using...
It’s a level of craftsmanship that was lost after the Industrial Revolution
Technology is not an unbroken, linear advancement.
We have lost techniques and technologies many times.
Phenominal craftsmanship. We ade supposed to believe people spent 90 percent of their time just subsisting! This must have taken months. That guy has a weird little toe though.
just lot of patience and skill.
