L’Art Antique, or the art of the classical/antique world [Egypt, Greece, Rome], has many stylistic elements developed over the centuries that remain highly prominent today.

Archaeology can often show us the push factors—climate change, pressure, survival—but the pull is harder to see. And yet, it’s hard to ignore the possibility of something deeper: an innate drive to explore.

Together, George and Andy discuss:

Sometimes we find evidence of people arriving somewhere new…
