After lying in obscurity for over a millennium, the staggering restoration of the colossal carpet-like mosaic in Jericho has finally been unveiled, flaunting 38 captivating panels of floral and geometric designs, prominently featuring a striking 'tree of life.' This awe-inspiring artwork resides within Hisham's Palace, a historical gem that was all but forgotten until the 19th century. Enter British archaeologist Robert Hamilton, who, in the 1930s, dared to excavate the site more thoroughly and stumbled upon this masterpiece nestled within the palace's main bathhouse. These stunning tiles had been buried in a grave of rubble from a devastating earthquake that rocked Jericho back in 947 AD. Ever since this mosaic was brought to light, the two-story palace has surged to prominence as one of Palestine's most significant Islamic monuments, luring tourists from every corner of the globe to witness its splendor.

London Victorian Poverty. Four penny coffins were common during the late Victorian era. Men would be offered a tarpaulin as a blanket, if sleeping like this wasn’t hard enough. If you only had two pennies, you would sit on a bench where a rope would keep you from falling when and if you fell asleep. It was known as a two-penny hangover, the word hangover become associated with alcohol in the past century. It first appeared in the English vocabulary in the 19th century as an expression for describing unfinished business from meetings, but it was not until 1904 that the word began to crop up in reference to alcohol, Based on research, the claim that the word “hangover” refers to the practice of sleeping over a rope is FALSE. In reality, the alcohol-related meaning of the term is an offshoot of its earlier meaning to refer to unfinished business or the aftereffects of other events.
