Hello everyone, welcome back. This episode is a good one about an invention that touches all of us still one way and another.

And we're off to a beautiful city to find out all about it. Bear with me before we get started.

Quick note, how to support the podcast. I'll always say this because I need more help.

You guys that get the wheels on the bus and the more than merrier.

Just go to patreon.com if you will.

Search for me, find me, part with a bit of cash.

You get exclusive access to some great stuff.

A question and answer session every week, for example.

There's tons on the channel, political commentary, history and archaeology, all the question

and answer sessions, you name it.

It's all there.

No adverts, the links in the notes.

I'd love to see you there.

We also get crucial support from our one and only gorgeous sponsor, Gold Bullion Partners.

They are the people I would recommend talking to if you're in the market for buying some real gold and silver. Coins or ingots, whatever you want.

They say buying gold and silver is about wealth, preservation, safety and control. It's not about

speculation.

So if you want to find out if it's right for you, go to the link in the notes and they'll talk you through it all.

You get a real person to talk to, how's that?

Okay, strap into the time machine everyone as we set off to Paris, gay Paris.

Get ready to say cheese cue the music the dark chamber the camera obscura

this strange magic may have been known and exploited
