Hi you (modern day folkes) :-) 

Camp in a canyon, or next to a high wall of rock, build you fire,
watch its lights ~Dances~ in wispy SHADOWS. 1st recorded "light.box"
is just oldest (found text) to date. (IT'S OLDER THAN YOU THINK!) 

I just took a lighter here (out of my pocket)/(hot coal stick.end BACK
THEN (from fire)) and burned a hole in a 3x3 memo pad note paper
(hide?)..... ouchey OuchEY Hot Hot HOT *Burns GOOD!* :-) Blow out fast
etc. [makes hole]. SEE HOLE?

3x3 "circle" its NOT, BUT all "edges" _crystle clear_ !! (in dark room
(turn off your light there)) and _focus_ the ~CaNdLe LiGhT~ (whatever)
and SEE. SEE. SEE. !

-=se=-

PS forget the "caveman" talking to the "cavewoman" saying "HOLD STILL
- YOU LOOK 'BIGGER' against WALL (DON'T MOVE) Big Beautiful Woman on
caynon wall!", because the women _will always ~move~_ (come to your
side) and she'll say LET ME SEE TOO? (sigh) :-(

1 Candle is MORE than enough light source (oh ye of little light EyE).
 
nothing to do with the folding of the key of vms, but we could start a
businees - say showing "shows?" like hollywood maybe? :-)


pss the "VMS KEY is Visual" NOT Mathmatical!!! so you SEE some of IT &
that is good :-)

 This is very interesting. What did they use for a light source? It seems
 like candles would be too dim and too variable - maybe reflected sunlight?
 Or was it something as simple (but awkward) as pressing the page against a
 vertical window?
