The Persistence of Time By Salvador Dalí
Surrealism was a 20th-century "avant-garde" movement in Art and Literature which wanted to use the creativity of the unconscious mind
Hanged, Drawn & Quartered: Execution oF The Conspirators
In England, the punishment of being "hanged, drawn and quartered" was used for men convicted of high treason.
The man was dragged by a hurdle (similar to a fence) through the streets.
Then he was hanged from the neck (almost to the point of death).
After this he was drawn or disembowelled slowly on a wooden block by cutting open his abdomen. Then his entrails and other organs were thrown on a fire.
Finally he was decapitated and quartered (his body was divided into four pieces) and the man's head and quarters were sometimes parboiled and displayed along the Tower Bridge.

What Did He Look Like? Pharaoh Tutankhamun
Here is a forensic reconstruction of "King Tut´s" face based on 3-D CT scans of his mummy. However, some aspects of the 18-29 year old king's appearance, lide the shape of the top of his nose and of his ears, or the color of his eyes and skin, will remain unknown.
These busts created during his lifetime helped to flesh out details of "The Boy King´s" eyebrow thickness, nose and lip shape, and the approximate shape of his ears.

Here she is in a probably more realistic 15th century french terracota.
The Union Jack Flag
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland flag is really made up of the three flags of England, Scotland and formerly the totality of Ireland up until 1921.
The crosses of each country’s Patron Saint combined form the U.K flag.
England: Cross of St George – Red Cross
Scotland: Cross of St Andrew – White Saltaire
This is the scottish flag
N. Ireland: Cross of St Patrick – Red Saltaire
Right Way Of Displaying The Union Jack
Some historians believe that the Union Flag is called 'Jack' because it´s named after James I (Jacobus in Latin ) since he introduced the flag after acceding to the throne and was the first monarch to be called King of Great Britain.
