1) The first proof that humans thought about themselves and their body, was probably a woman. Children came out of her genitals and her breasts gave milk. She was a creator, a goddess. And so she was portrayed in all her creativity and with the admired, characteristical body parts of her gender. Maybe she was even the boss of a group of primitive men. This was matriarchism, that is the "Mater" - mother stood at the top.

2) Is it possible that the ideal of beauty had changed so much? A dancer from the third millennium BC in India.

3) Perhaps the change from raw meat to a more vegetarian diet, the change of work from hunting to agricultural field work and the emergence of a high culture meant that also the ideals changed. A scholar from the Pharaonic Egypt.

4) The ancient religions had their goddesses of beauty, youth and fertility or night, because 'man' meets his selected and beloved mostly at night, while the so-called progressive Christianity only accepts three men (father, son and the Holy Spirit) as deities. Here is an example from the pagan Phoenicia from the thirteenth century before our era.

5) The Greeks specialized on perfect beauty. Almost every modern man would want such a physique. The only question is whether most Greeks really looked like that at that time.

6) The Eastern Roman Emperor closed the last Academy in Athens in 528. You can see that as well in the quality of the paintings.

7) Did the people of the middle Ages feel as miserable as they represented Jesus?

8) At the beginning of the modern era a Venus was born. She stands naked in front of you and is slightly red in the face. What a new way of life at the end of the tunnel of the Dark Ages! Everything is right with this woman. All distances seem to be measured, from the forehead to the chin , and from there to the navel, to the knee, to the foot.
