Ultraviolet light reveals how ancient Greek statues really looked:
Original Greek statues were brightly painted, but after thousands of years, those paints have worn away. Find out how shining a light on the statues can be all that’s required to see them as they were thousands of years ago.
Interesting. I don’t just mean that in the “interesting, so they used to be brightly painted” sense, but also in the “how might our aesthetic tastes differ had these statues always remained brightly painted?” way. Food for thought.
