How Art Made the World

I discovered this show the other day while flipping through channels and I was so excited. My DVR is now recording every episode. Check out the website, watch some images, and set your DVR!
The few minutes I caught was about Egyptian obsession with orderliness in their art. They found a grid that creates a standardized system of drawing the human figure so that their style of drawing people would be maintained for centures. Why? Well, I guess I will have to watch the whole episode (More Human Than Human, the title of which makes me think of the White Zombie song).
