I learnt during my Visual Culture lecture today that the pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians were supposed to be glazed with limestone (obviously they're gone now) so that it was white, not yellowish. Wow. Imagine how they must have looked like 3000 years ago. Shimmering white megaliths in the brownish desert.
