They belong to one of my uncles who was very talented in photography. Unfortunately he passed away. (5 years and 2880 days ago)

Happy to hear it doesn't work, would be quite dangerous, I'm sure.

Old as Dirt - created by kyricom
This is old as dirt, because it IS dirt. This is a macro of a Cuneiform specimen I got about 15 years ago. Cuneiform is among the earliest forms of written communication, from the "Fertile Crescent" area of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (present day Iraq). The earliest forms are around 5,000 years old. This specimen is about 4,000 years old. They would form tablets of clay (large ones are usually about 5 or 6 inches across), cut a reed from the river bank which had a wedge shaped stalk, and press characters into the wet clay before putting it out in the sun to bake. This particular one is a receipt acknowledging the donation of some goats and sheep to a local temple. Talk about keeping tax records a long time! (5 years and 2884 days ago)
We used to tell people that we'd try and count the candles on my mother's birthday cake to find out how old she was, but the heat drove us back! 
Maybe you could sneak him a chocolate cookie from me.

This is precious to my husband.
It was given to his mother, by her mother when she was a little girl. It was broken by my mother-in-law, who was severely scolded and told that was totally unacceptable behaviour.
The French inscription translates to;
"if you wish to live in total peace,
You listen, You watch and You say nothing. (5 years and 2884 days ago)
