Michelangelo's Moses is an example of Michelangelo's supreme knowledge
of human anatomy. The arrow points out a small muscle in the arm. This
muscle only appears in the arm when the little finger is raised up like Moses is doing here.
He was known to procure cadavers to secretly dissect the body & draw what he saw...
even flaying the skin for the most minute blood-vessels to be exposed. Creepy & brave,
considering what the Church would've done to him had he been caught as it was prohibited by law.
(Thanx to Ever for the additional info.)

Here's a photo from inside the cave room connected to the Naica Mines, in Naica, Saucillo
Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico - also known as the Cave of the Crystals. The cave was
discovered in April 2000 by brothers Juan and Pedro Sanchez while drilling in the mine.
The chamber contains giant selenite crystals (gypsum). The largest is 11.40 meters (37.4 ft),
with a volume of about 5 cubic meters (180 cu ft), and an estimated mass of 12 tons.
Although it looks like a wonderful place to plan your next vacation spot, keep in mind that
the chamber is 300 meters (980 ft) down and extremely hot, with air temperatures reaching
up to 58 C (136 F) with 90 to 99 percent humidity. Remaining inside the chamber for more
than 10 minutes could be fatal as the human body has no ability to cool down in that
environment. Even with environmental suits (as shown by the person in this picture),
exposure is extremely limited. Wiki Page

This is the Kefalonia Melissani Cave in Greece, situated just outside Sami. A lake lies inside
the cave, with trees and forests surrounding it. The depth of the lake is 20 to 30 meters.
When the sun is right overhead at noon, the sunlight hitting the turquoise-blue waters creates a
magical illusion and the whole Cave of Melissani suddenly feels lit with blue light. This is the
best time to visit this cave; slanting rays in the morning and evening have a magical quality
and guests get an ethereal feeling of boats hovering in the light!
