  1. Give it to post-colonial "historians" to try to justify racism. Wikipedia has a page called "scientific racism", look it up.

  2. 2:15 oh yeah, racism, of course! Irony is that neither Greeks nor Italians were pale, people in Mediterranean are, generally, tan.

  3. And we see how bright Egyptian art was, what little of colour remains now. Sphinx was also painted and re-painted and restored later! It just eroded over thousansd of years. A few select Greek rooms were also found mostly uneroded and the colours were absolutely horrible! Like 80s style clashing primary colours.

  4. Hollywood is responsible for a lot of myths, from pyramids built by slaves, to pale WASP-looking Romans, to horned vikings, to American troops wearing blue uniforms during war for Independence, but most of the myths started elsewhere, it just after one director makes a mistake, others are afraid of not repeating it. Not exclusive to Hollywood, Kurosawa made all samurai including Oda Nobunaga with samurai knot and shaved head top. Despite that falling out of fashion by then.

  5. They made up that white marble theory when movement to justify colonization was rampant.

  6.  @vincentp4648  I feel that Kassandra couldn't care for rules, laws or tradition being a woman mercenary pirate who sinks a bunch of trade ships to upgrade her hull and backstabs both parties for profit. It's just GTA in ancient Greece, your character is NOT a moral goodie two shoes, you are literally an Assassin (misthios, whatever), malaka.)

  7. They only had 2 Greek statue models painted in Origins out of all, but Odyssey improved that a lot.

  9. It's way cheaper to keep clothing as natural linen beige or dye it green, brown or red than keep it white, as bleach wasn't a thing back then.
