It’s mind blowing that we can see photos almost 200 years old. Had the technology been invented a little earlier and we could have had pictures of Napoleon or even of the French Revolution.
Gosh, I hope humanity can keep it up for another 2000 years, keeping out heritage and history well-recorded.
When I look at the bust of Nefertiti I like to imagine Nefertiti saying something like "destroy it, make the nose a little smaller, then execute the artist".
