Theresa May and some distress signals
Outside the Supreme Court in January 2017.

Boris Johnson makes the signal

The Book of the Earth
The Book of the Earth is an Ancient Egyptian funerary text that has been called many names such as The Creation of the Sun Disc and the Book of Aker:  A close-up of the most relevant section:  I know very little about Ancient Egyptian mythology, but found a description of what it all means here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_the_Earth |
