Discovered 4 nude ancient statues in Greece

Four nude male statues, also known as Kouros from the Archaic period, have been unearthed in the vast town of Atalanti in central Greece.

The houses began excavating the area after a landlord in Atalanti in October reported that he found the body of a nude male statue while farming. After that, they discovered three other statues and many ancient artifacts.

The naked male statues were discovered in the town of Atalanti.

All 4 kouros are about the same size as the real ones and are in very good condition. According to the Greek Ministry of Culture, the largest of these figures is 1.22m tall and intact from head to thigh, depicting a young, bearded and standing man. The two statues only have the upper body and a statue with only the lower body.

The statues are about the same size as the real ones.

The statue of Kouros appeared in Greece between 615-590 BC. While many features of this type of statue are influenced by ancient Egyptian culture, especially in the proportion of body depiction, they still have many features of Greek architecture.

Unlike Egyptian sculpture, the Kouros statue is not religious but created with the purpose of celebrating or making a tombstone. They took prototypes from the god of light, truth and art of Apollo, but many statues depict characters who were considered heroes in ancient Greece like athletes.
