I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE FLASH CAMERA USE TO READ
STONES. IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO
DO WITH WHEN THE STONE IS CARVED - THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF THE AREA OF
THE LETTER IS CHANGED DUE
TO THE PRESSURE FROM THE CARVING. IF THE CAMERA FLASH PICTURE IS TAKEN AT
AN ANGLE FROM THE SIDE OR
FROM THE TOP - IT MAY CREATE A VERY SLIGHT SHADOW. WITH THE USE OF A PHOTO
SHOP COMPUTER PROGRAM -
ONE CAN ENHANCE THE CONTRAST BY DEGREES, SINCE IT IS A DIGITAL PICTURE AND
MAYBE THE STONES CAN
BECOME READABLE. JUST A GUESS - NOT SURE; BUT IT WOULD BE WORTH
EXPERIMENTING TO FIND OUT.
