Limitations and or Freedom. EDEXCEL A Level Art 2018

The term Gordian knot refers to a problem most difficult of solution. It is a metaphor for an intractable problem.

Alexander the Great famously cut the Gordian knot, which nobody else had been able to undo, at Gordium, the capital city of ancient Phrygia located where the Royal Road crossed the Sangarius River 47 miles southwest of present-day Ankara, the capital of Turkey, thereby fulfilling the prophecy that whoever undid the knot would become master of Asia 

Rat King is a curious phenomena where groups of rats living squashed together have had their tails sticky with water or grease or waste become matted together. These bizarre groups have survived been joined for surprising lengths of time.

NEWGRANGE Burial Mound and Temple Southern Ireland 

Newgrange Burial Mound was constructed in 3200 BC and is 5000 years old, older than Stonehenge. It was forgotten and thought to be a small hill until 1699 when the entrance and tunnels were rediscovered and opened up. There are similar hills and mounds around Newgrange and on the Salisbury plains near Stonehenge. The Neolithic people didn't leave a map or a list

Closer to us in time and geographically is London. 2000 years of settlement, sewers, power, water, covered over rivers, layers of the underground. And this is just the stuff we know about. When they dug the first Thames pedestrian tunnel in 1820's workers became ill coming into contact with bacteria trapped

in the mud under the Thames for thousands of years
Thames Tunnel is a underground tunnel now
