Well actually there were 16 pictures... but yes, flash wasn't needed.

However a simple flash slideshow is much preferred over a 16 page slideshow...

How do they expect me to put any faith in these claims when they say things like 2000, to 7000 years old. Wtf? Are they just pushing numbers out of their ass?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
