Ancient Greek and Roman Statues Shown in Their True Colors

Found this interesting blog called: moco-choco. Coffee? Chocolate? Neither! The first post visited was about a re-visualization of famous historical places and people based on "reality". For example, the pyramids of Giza were actually white and shiny. Who knew? Perception versus reality. It was an eye-opening blog post!

True Colors of Ancient Greek and Roman Statues

Example of one of the numerous images displayed at the moco-choco blog.
 
The sculpted figures take on a new life when you see them in color. In fact, the colors give them life!
