One thing I never got about ancient art is like did people actually think they looked like that?
Like a noble commissions a portrait and the artist hands them something like that and the noble goes "wow, this looks exactly like me."

There was a period in history where realism was considered blasphemous, so for religious reasons people were depicted as caricatures.

To be fair, Picasso lived in the last 100 years or so, and he drew people like this:

Just because someone draws something, it doesn't mean that's all they can draw, or that they're attempting to draw a realistic depiction of something but failing. There were tons of eras when art was deliberately unrealistic, for either metaphysical or aesthetic reasons.

We were hip. We were cool. We were with "it" (and then they changed what "it" was)

That's actually how people looked back then. Strange times.

And they still worked for foiling alien invasions, tbh.
