Quote:You didn't really address the question of the Pompeii painting ( and I believe others too ), or the fact that in most cultures, painted statuary will reflect contemporary painting styles.I did, quite clearly, address the Pompeii statue in a painting. Very clearly. :?

Quote:Let us agree that much more information and analysis is required before any conclusions can be asserted.....I don't have to, it's already been done and resides in museums as we type. Rock hard, solid scientific reconstruction. Where's yours?
