  • Manga a good deal older than believed

    Manga are a type of comics or "graphic novels" thought to originate in Japan in the 1950s (but borrows heavily from a style developed in the 19th century), but it appears to be much earlier and originating on the other end of Asia.

    The evidence comes from Iraq dating to 1933 -- and that's just when they were discovered!

    As compared to someone in a modern manga




    So manga is roughly 4700 years old!

    Looks like he took it down, but Gaijin Goombah had a YouTube short called "anime then and now" where he compared an ancient figurine with big boobs and hips with a tiny waist to a modern anime character figurine. You could say he amply demonstrated his point.

        Btw, did you notice that on Sumerian woman her mouth is tiny -- like in mangas? No wider than her nose (which, tbf, is rather broad)

              You do tend to pad out your responses.
