Unfold the horrifying fate of the beauty god Aphrodite

Recently researchers have used 3D printing technology to simulate speculation about the location of two lost arms of the statue of Venus, and have discovered the "horrific" fate of Hyori Ancient Greece.

The fate of the beauty god Aphrodite

Milo statue of the Goddess of Venus is an ancient Greek sculpture famous in the world, depicting Aphrodite - the goddess of love and beauty of the Greeks. The statue is sculpted in marble material, slightly larger than the real person with a height of 203 cm, but has lost two hands and original pedestal. And the posture of the statue of Milo is still a mystery since the statue was discovered more than 200 years ago on an Greek island .

An American writer has suggested that this statue of a lost hand beauty god may have once held a mirror, a spear or an apple, but so far the hypothesis has been verified and confirmed that the statue Aphrodite may have been portrayed in a spinning position.

A designer in San Francisco recreated the sculpture of a spinning man - a popular job of prostitutes in ancient Greece.

Elizabeth Wayland Barber said that the posture of the statue is on display in the Louvre in Paris, describing a familiar posture of many women in 100 BC. Especially the prostitutes ' hard work' with spinning to ' disguise' their busyness while waiting for visitors.

Cosmo Wenman did 3D modeling to prove the posture of the statue at the request of writer Virginia Postrel. Designers and artists based on his 3D photographic model combine a detailed study of 1850 other plaster statues on display in Skulpturhalle Basel in Switzerland , to decipher the mystery of two-arm positions.

Horrified discovery about the fate of 'prostitutes' hidden behind the statue of Venus

' 3D image research with the statue of Venus is a platform that helps to diversify the posture of the Venus's arm most naturally. I directly copied the instruments and inserted them into Aphrodite's left hand from a special vase picture at the British Museum. I also rely on the slightly bowed posture of the goddess Venus at the British Museum to come up with ideas about the different types of hands of the statue , 'Wenman said.

The team plans to use Wenman's digital model to create a plastic desktop copy thanks to 3D printing technology . The spinning work tools are printed separately and the models are pieced together.

Based on studies, Wenman realized spinning devices could not be made of marble carved into statues. He guessed that the accompanying tools could be made of painted yellow wood. If the tools were made of wood, it was possible to answer the question of archaeologist Elmer F Suhr more than 50 years ago: The spinning tools were attached to other classical statues with the same posture. Where did Venus go?

Dr. Suhr has identified a number of classical sculptures in the same spinning position, but no accompanying tools have been found. Wenman's experiment suggests that this device may simply have been damaged over time or has been stolen. At the moment, the final conclusions to answer the exact question about the mystery behind the posture of the Venus Goddess cannot be clarified.
