The internet tells that greek sculpture began only after 1000 B.C. Are you sure you want images of sculptures 7000 years old? http://www.statue.com/greek-statues.html Archaic period (8th to early 5th century BC) The first period of Greek sculpture was heavily influenced by the works of the ancient Egyptians. There was an emphasis on creating perfection in human form. However, most of the statues created during this time period appear very rigid and unnatural. They reflected a body being assembled in pieces much in the way a mannequin might be created today. Referred to as kouros and kore, these statues typically stood very erect with their feet together and a blank stare on their face. Despite the shortcomings, the Greeks were the first to create free-standing statues during this period. http://www.historylink101.com/lessons/art_history_lessons/greek_sculpture.htm The Archaic period was the earliest period in Greek Sculpture which started around 600 B.C. and lasted until 480 B.C. These works have a stiff and ridged appearance similar to that of the Egyptian sculpture. |

Just to add to the previous comment--there was no "Greece" in 5000 BCE. The first Greek speakers (proto-Indo-European) almost certainly didn't arrive to the area until at least 2000 BCE, and some think as late as 1500 BCE. At 5000 BCE, the only "sculpture" extant would be small figurenes from paleolithic (pre-agricultural) settlements, and I'm not too sure much has been discovered in the area of modern Greece. |
