Quoting: Doctor Congo I know that the best blue paint needed lapis lazuli, a very expensive material, not used much. That video is bogus and to assert that the ancient Greeks could not see Bue is simply proposterous. It's also not true that Lapis Lazuli wasn't used much; it was actually used extensively in ancient Egypt in not only jewelry but also paint pigments used to cover tomb walls; and for that matter the Greeks and Romans used it as well. Want proof? Just take a look at the existing original murals from Pompeii. Further, blue pigments were also extracted from sand along the beaches of the Red Sea. These were turned into the exquisite Roman blue glass that was so highly prized. So prized that it too was made into jewelry, primarily beads. A have a small string of them in my collection of Roman antiquities. The title is a little off. It's not that they couldn't see it , it's that the name blue had little or no reference in ancient cultures and it was primarily seen as a shade of black. Watching the video helps, just saying. But they would certainly perceive the difference between day (blue sky) and night (black sky). That's about the most basic difference there is, and they certainly knew the difference between their experiences of day and night. The night sky is actually blue. Yes a very very deep blue. Go out at night and compare the sky to something you know is black. Newtome |

Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance. Who found religion to be full of lies, and wrong doing, conflicted teachings I understand microwave communications. I do not stand for the NWO, it sucks. |

Plenty of blue painted statues and buildings in ancient Greece. They didn't have a word for pink or orange neither, doesn't mean they couldn't see them. 1 star gooby pls |

User ID: 79667358 Greenland 04/08/2021 03:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This kind of question that you present is a tarp. Because first of all you start by forcing the assumption that ancient Greeks could not see blue. By that you force comments that must explain the question you asked, which is confined in an alleged result that for some reason you push. Secondly you obvious try to analyze the thoughts of people and how they can spread through a supposed fact that if lot bait into it, then it will get reality and soon Worldwide all will try to explain minor parts of that fact, whole science, Politics, media and goes on, solutions will take place, even implemented at first in a choice way of form and then mandatory and at last the substance will be lost and reality will be fucked. So, the actually question should rather be, why do you seek to fuck reality? PersonalSignature |

User ID: 79667358 Greenland 04/08/2021 03:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok, seen the whole video, it is dumb, only a moran would publish such video, good luck on him. Secondly, the question is not accurate, since the video tries to explain something through accuracy that follows logic, the one that made the video asks an inaccurate and not logical question. it is inaccurate because as in that video posted, everyone understand different the colors and depths of the color, in regards with the way he is raised, the place he is and goes on. It is not logical since everyone can see blue mostly, however not everyone can express the blue color. In short, this video posted is just trash, because people by watching it, instantly analyze it as logical, but without seeing the illogical in it, by taking it as logical and so not bothering on correcting the illogical, since the main point is understood, however what the OP of that video wanted to do, is to push people to concentrate after the illogical and he succeeded. He might have done it unconsciously, through the lack of education probably, or consciously, as for the OP of this thread with this Subject, it is the same, though do believe that it was done consciously.

Everything User ID: 80195834 United States 04/08/2021 04:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Simple Bible text search, blue is mentioned 50 times. Quoting: jlee2027 First time, 3500 years ago Exodus 25:4 New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition 4 blue, purple, and crimson yarns and fine linen, goats’ hair, etc. He's using a bad translation. Not just the Greeks, all the Europeans couldn't see the blue [link to medium.com (secure)] Go look at the eye color in one of the oldest people in the Middle East, out of UR I think, it is blue, they had blue eyes in the statues, the Gilgamesh saga mentions it in a stone that is blue color, very pretty deep blue. Not having a name for it does not mean they can't see it, they can say a name if they had not named it. There is also something to not being able to spot something people have never seen before. Native American's by the most part didn't see the ships coming, a special person was set to look for anything different coming from the oceans. Some people notice things others do not, it is the same today. I forgot, maybe a lot of people had color blindness, it came from somewhere, the color blindness people have even today.

And do not forget the self sacrifice of those Government employees , of civil protect in Greece, that put their life in the first line to be sure beaches are safe for the citizens when they open.
