The Digital Mona Lisa

Alex
In 1964, H. Philip Peterson of Control Data Corporation used a CDC 3200 computer and a scanner to create a digital version of the Mona Lisa.

The production process took 14 hours to complete the image which contained 100,000 pixels that were plotted using numerals, sometimes overprinted, to approximate the required density.

They were 4 sided when they were finished with the casing stone.If you remove the plaster from a wall it's not smooth any more but that's not it's intended appearance. The pyramids without casing stone are not their intended appearance. Take the paint off cars and claim their all silver.
