Göbekli Tepe (c. 9600 BCE) predates Stonehenge by 6,000 years. Built by hunter-gatherers, it features massive stone pillars with carved animals and symbols. No homes, just ritual. It may prove belief systems sparked monumental architecture before farming.

The figures appear to represent a married couple. Experts think the woman, who is holding laurel leaves, may have been a priestess

New evidence shows that ancient Greek and Roman statues were multi-sensory experiences, not only painted with bright colors but also scented with perfumes, oils and waxes. #classicalstudies #museum #art 🏺
Ancient Greek and Roman statues often smelled like roses, a new study says
Ancient Greek and Roman statues didn't originally look like they do now in museums. A new study says they didn't smell the same, either.

A bit of humor for #MosaicMonday. Here, an overweight and drunk Silenus has caused his poor donkey to collapse. Two slaves try to lift the animal by pulling it by the ears and tail. I think this likely depicts a scene from a theatrical comedy - a laugh riot with men in a donkey suit. 🏺
