Updated references to the use of magnifying lenses. The previous reference was to one unsupported statement in a NY Times article. I have added a reference to an actual archaeological survey in a peer-reviewed journal.Tag: Visual edit

Deleted a paragraph claiming “The Spanish language evolves from Vulgar Latin” as 1. It is ridiculous to ascribe this process to an event in a single year, and 2. Spanish evolved from Latin in Late Antiquity/Early medieval period (see the article on the Spanish language), not in the middle Republican period!Tags: Visual editMobile editMobile web edit

Long take
Adding short reference to the opening scene of JCVD, which is notable as an ironic take on the technical difficulties of a long take, and follows on logically from the previous paragraph about the technical difficulties of the 'True Detective' long take (more so than the Battlestar Galactica reference, which seems to be simply the start of a list of 'my favourite long takes')Tag: Visual edit: Switched

Adding a more detailed reference to the serious flaws in the hypothermia experiments (above and beyond the horrendous ethical flaws), because the data from these experiments has sometimes been presented as useful, but morally challenging, and it needs to be made clear that it is not useful.

Tuscan order
Adjusted the first paragraph to make it clearer that, although the formal "Tuscan Order" is a Renaissance creation, the architectural style itself was used widely in classical antiquity.Tag: Visual edit
