RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Mirror
Mirrors have been used since ancient times, with the Egyptians making polished bronze mirrors as early as 2900 BCE. These flat, round discs symbolized the sun-god Ra and often having handles made of wood, metal, or ivory. Similarly, in China, casted bronze mirrors dating back to around 2000 BCE have been found.
Yeah, people were vain too a very long time ago.
You shared interesting information and it's no wonder the first mirror was still water. As I read the text you left the link for I waited for the moment a certain god was named who fell in love with his reflection.
What is it I see in the mirror if I can see at all? A mirrored picture of someone most of us don't recognize unless you train your brain and make it believe that that the mirrored person is a reflection of yourself.
I watched a video where a photographer explained why it is that we frequently don't like the photos taken of us. It all makes sense to me.
Maybe we all are too vain to accept what we are physically.
I believe we cannot see us. Us is what hides inside. What we see (admire or dislike) is what we are wrapped in. A colourful paper, an old newspaper, something that reflects the inside or makes the inside look better. The mirror shows the wrap not the gift and we made our brain believe that that is who we are.
Hereby the link to the next one. It is dreams, the nightmares or.... included. Are there games with this topic?
A great day!

It's doubtful though that we are actually looking at ourselves when we look into a mirror. The body is changing every moment.
What's good information about the mirror and its different made from bronze. I wanna read the liink afterward. I feel interesting about that history about bronze mirror.

This is a good information about mirror. I just wondered about the bronze in the first place.
