h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I heard recently on 60 minutes that Van Eyck and others used camera obsura. Some disagree, but I think that they did use it. I've seen some of Van Eyck's later work, and it gets increasingly creepier.

Also, I've been watching a video about the Sphinx, and it it said that the erosian on it is from WATER, making it a lot older!! It gave several other examples, like a tomb near there that has wind erosion, and it's made out of the same stone. Egyptalogists say that it's not water erosion, or at least that it isn't older than old kindom Egypt. One reason, I think, is because there isn't any other evidence of this civilization earlier, but I'm starting to think, just because there isn't evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But the film is very convincing, so I'm only getting one perception.

Also am reading some about the events of 1941-42, and the war, but I'm only getting that from one perspective too. The US's. I wish there was some other, like Japanese or anywhere but US, perspective that I could read or find. More perspectives, the better. I like getting as true of a view as I can get.
