Some tech specs: 717 Gigapixels in a 5.6 TB image: 8439 individual images, taken with a 100 megapixel Hasselblad H6D 400 MS camera. The distance between two pixels is 5 micrometer. The museum writes the images were stitched together "using artificial intelligence".

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." -Socrates

Is this the Socrates quote from 1907 ?
