existence is debated and disputed by modern historians.
The Knights of the Round Table were characters in the legends about King
Arthur. They were the best knights in King Arthur's kingdom, and lived in King
Arthur's castle, Camelot. They were called the Knights of the Round Tablebecause
of a special table in Camelot, that was round instead of rectangular. This meant

Answer: In the 19th century, especially during the Victorian era, it became

which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because

of its territories. Now almost all the countries which were part of the British
Empire are united in what we know as The Commonwealth of Nations.
Teacher2:
Question10: WHAT IS BEHIND THE WELL-KNOWN PHRASE "SHEEP
ATE PEOPLE"
Answer: It all began in the 16th century when Britain developed industrialisation
(which actually meant hand labour). At the dawn of British manufacture their main
industry was producing cloth made from the wool of sheep. More and more sheep
were bred in England, and soonthere was not enough land for them. And land
owners were quick to realize that it was much more profitable to allocate their
lands for sheep pastures than to lease it to peasants. So the peasants were ousted
from the lands, and sometimes dwellers of entire villages were driven away.
Sir Thomas More bitterly remarked in his famous “Utopia” "Your sheep whiсh аre
usuаlly so tame аnd so cheaply fed, begin now, aссording to reрort, to be so grееdy
and wild thаt they devоur human beings thеmselves and devаstate and depоpulate
fields, houses, and towns."
Later, when people started citing him, they transformed the quotation into a
simpler phrase — “SHEEP ATE MEN”.
