I've tried in vain to clean my camera lens. Yet, starting today, this black dot is appearing on all my pictures. Can anyone give me advice? I haven't dropped the camera or exposed it to dirt . . .
Although popular legend blames Napoleon and his troops during the French campaign in Egypt (1798-1801) for having shot the nose off the Great Sphinx, in fact this story just isn't true. I have yet to locate an original source for this myth. The idea that Napoleon was to blame for the Sphinx's missing nose dates at least to the beginning of the twentieth century.
One traveler to Egypt around the time of World War One wrote the following: "To take our photos sitting in front of the Sphinx on a camel was the aim of another. ...And so, repulsing the hordes of robbers on all sides, we came to the wonderful, inscrutable, worth-millions-of-pounds-to-authors Sphinx. The great riddle of the mysterious East. How many reams of rubbish have been written about this misshapen block of stone. Napoleon, a practical man, fired a few cannon balls at its face. High explosive shells were not invented in those days." [From: Sommers, Cecil. Temporary Crusaders. (London: John Lane, 1919) Chapter VI. "19th April."] Another book from about the same time (In the Footsteps of Napoleon (1915) by James Morgan, p 85) states "There is a tradition among the Arabs of the Pyramids that all the scars of time and the wounds of a hundred wars, which the Sphinx carries, were inflicted by Napoleon's soldiers, who used its mystifying and majestic countenance as a target. That, however, is only a legend for the tourist. Long before the discovery of gunpowder, the Arabs had laid iconoclastic hands on the beard of this god of the desert..." Though the Arab guides may have spread this tale, this myth has been perpetuated over the years by countless teachers the world over who have passed this bit of "history" on to their students

I purchased these two together, but I know this dish had the double candle cradle. What dish/dishes would have been sold with this cradle? This promotional is 045 and it does fit nicely into the opening. Thanks for your help :)
*been searching for info and this looks similar to black tulip's cradle
If I could see light
as the thing itself
and not as the carrier of figures,
I could see into the heart of being,
the pulse of creation.
I would not ask anymore
after meaning
but sit in the shade
and drink a glass of water—
but at what price
to being human,
which is to ask
the shadows
their meaning.

How to do remote viewing?

- This picture resembles myself: Amidst the aggregation of nothing, feeling cramped. Pleonasm or Oxymoron?
I also hope to someday find a better picture that is worth the title.
I'll number all my Videos with Arabic numerals.
*Addendum to my first post 001:
This Is Me
I am the World
I'm the reflection
I am the Thought behind the window
All you see is what I reflect
Shutterd shivers
That are moving inside of your mind
Like clouds on a windy day:
The perspective will decide
If they stay
In Your field of vision.
Do You think it's reality?
What is reality anyway?
Only accelerated light?
This is not me!
These are parts, shards
Of my outter appearance
The mind,
My inner self,
Stays behind the glas
Veiled, hazy, fragile
All You reflect is what I see
Exposed elements
That are crawilng into my mind
We are the Toughts behind the windows
We're the reflections
We are the World
