Nickel is strongly magnetic but combined with iron the resultant is often not magetic. It's a complicated world. You can do a lot of things with...
The Greeks got everything messed up with the Egyptians. Part of the problem was religion though.
Rather than a sphinx or The Sphinx I believe that might be a "cherubim" as depicted in the 3rd picture down. It seems there were a lot of...
