- Clarification: Most (but not all) of the images belonging to the Egyptian civilization, found inside all sections except the photo gallery,
including all archtectural plan and sections were photographed/ drawn by me and reformated into grey scale.
Some of the pictures, which are from other cultures, such as the Kennedy picture, Roman, Greek, Mayan arts,
American metals, pictures of Popes and medieval paintings were taken from public domain sites and books such as Wikipedia and belong to unknown parties.
I have also converted these images into grey scale.
- Photos in the photo gallery section were photographed by Jon Bodsworth, and are public domain according to his statement
- Videos are embedded from Youtube under the Youtube API Terms of Service.
No copy of the YouTube video is being stored on my server (only the HTML code for the embed). The video stays on, and is streamed from, YouTube's servers.
That makes the embedded YouTube video essentially an inline-link to the content which was uploaded by Youtube users
according to Youtube Terms of Service.
