Dan Piponi on Nostr: Mummification techniques led to interest in chemistry and knowledge that was handed ...
Mummification techniques led to interest in chemistry and knowledge that was handed on to the Greeks and which eventually made its way to the alchemists. Some of the discoveries of alchemists led to the discovery of photosensitive compounds that gave rise to photography and then film and visual effects. The demand for more effects led to digital rendering techniques pushing the need for GPUs which eventually led to ChatGPT.
See, I too can play the James Burke Connections game. (With some help from ChatGPT.)
