      You may have convinced me that the statue is ancient, but in doing so you’ve increased my belief in time travel.

        No, this was just a thing. India also has some thick goddesses. Some examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhumi_(goddess)

        From looking around on Wikipedia I do think that most religions from a warmer climate had thick goddesses it just needed the right mixture of culture and artstyle to show it.

        It probably was just luck that culture and artstyle aligned enough that a talented sculptor could create a figure that looks allmost modern. Like greece had the hyper realistic statues down before 200 AD, so it’s not a stretch to assume that other cultures could produce such a quality in their own style.

          Oh, my comment didn’t mean to imply that the statue came from the future. I mean the goddesses did. No other piece of historical art I’ve seen has these proportions on a woman. My assumption is that women are evolving (or surgically altering themselves) to such an extreme hourglass ratio and will eventually travel back in time and be worshipped as goddesses, for their modern knowledge and incomprehensible technology as well as their dummy thicc hips and chest.

          Clearly this makes far more logical sense than “the ideal female form (according to lonely artistic men) has always been unattainable and unrealistic, regardless of era and exposure to hentai.”
