Oh, my. No, I think I am still one up on you regarding who is the arbiter of what is dumb or not.
In regards specifically to the invention of linear perspective which I said did not occur until the "Middle Ages", you pedantically replied attempting to correct me:

Quote

Renascence Italy. The middle ages were pretty much stuck with oblique (not isometric). Bruno was the main man. It's no coincidence that art got good at about the same time as mathematics. And of course, the invention of the camera at about that time. Secret knowledge.

Now Thanos is rewriting the history books.
Let's move on.

Which I responded:

Quote

Middle Ages: 400AD-1499AD.
The Renaissance began in the "Middle Ages", dumbass, which Bruno "invented" linear perspective in 1415AD.
"The Renaissance was a period in European history, from the 14th to the 17th century, regarded as the cultural bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history."

The Middle Ages (or Medieval period) were the period in between the Roman Empire (often said to have ended in AD476) and the Renaissance (often dated from 1453).

I did not call you a "dumbass" because of whether the term "isometric perspective" is correct or not, but rather because of your unnecessarily pedantic and adversarial need to correct me regarding my general reference to the "Middle Ages" instead of specifically the "Renaissance" when in fact the "Renaissance" began in the Middle Ages.

So all this stumbling and bumbling and waste of bandwidth all stems from your own lack or reading comprehension leaving my original diagnosis more sound than before.

Which began when you asked me a simple question:
Thanos. Do you have any examples of 4th dynasty or Old Kingdom 2D drawings or paintings?

Which despite knowing this is a set up for your straw man, because you already know the answer to your question by now, I gave you an honest answer regardless. Your response was to patronize me, and the answer, by reposting every picture I gave with the indignant:
So this is from the fourth dynasty??
Ninth dynasty??
Much later New kingdom??
Is that correct??

And so on with your pretense and stupid games. You want to act like a punk I will treat you like one, but do not insult my intelligence by feigning innocence with the stupid game you are trying to play, among others, by asking me this question in the first place. And don't deny this is what you were doing because I can just keep quoting post after post which ironically is only highlighted here when you say:

Quote

As per the original discussion.
As far as I am aware there is nothing in the egyptological or archaeological physical record that suggests that the Old Kingdom AE had any knowledge or understanding of any method of three dimensional illusion within a flat two dimensional field.

No shit Sherlock, so again, your point is what?
