First description of The Camera
Time: 5th Century BC
Place: China
Details: The forerunner to the photographic camera was the camera obscura. Camera obscura (Latin for "dark room") is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen and forms an inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
