Whoaa! :o Great pictures!
Bigbrotiki, you are right, I got too exited thinking about Egyptian Pop and Greek Pop... I know those where not primitive. (as in savage, they were primitive as in originators.) It is funny and relative what makes a culture primitive or not.

Definition of Primitive culture found in Wikipedia: In older anthropology texts and discussions, a primitive culture is one that lacks major signs of economic development or modernity. ...

For example, Mayans are considered "the Greek of the Caribbean" developed an amazing culture with refined abstract thinking, yet never "discovered" the wheel or harvesting... and where cannibals.
I was trying to post something like "Ancient civilization Pop" but that term doesn't sound "cool" or catchy... Maybe the correct term is Kitsch, but That doesn't describe it either. Oh well, I guess we could start another thread... I just wanted to show this nice postcard from a 1960's discotheque in Spain called "Cleopatra" :
Sorry for the small size, I don't have the original with me right now.
And for dessert, Egyptian plastic.
Tomorrow, Aztec Pop interiors...
