Zigzag art? For some reason, a quote from Mel Brooks' History of the World comes to mind:

And here, in a cave about 2 million years ago, the first artist was born. And, of course, with the birth of the artist, came the inevitable after birth... The critic.

I’m not sure I’m seeing the zig zag.

There doesn’t seem to be much left to study. Several hundred years after the Trojan War and also a couple of hundred before the Golden Age.

Greeks seemed to pretty much have colonized most of the Mediterranean not including Egypt and areas colonized by Phoenicians.

When I die, I’ve told my wife to bury me in the woods. I told her to throw a slinky, a Pez dispenser and four oven mitts in with me. Let some future archeologist figure that out.
