millennia, the Tower has been involved in much of the history of England. The Tower of London has performed many tasks for the country, these ranging from palace, fortress, prison, and even mint.

The story is thought to have been based at the fall of the Roman Empire, this was also a time when there was an increase in tribes from Germany, called Saxons, in England. Arthur was thought to have helped with the removable of knights from Rome and the Saxons.

Our daily life should be private and secured, however, due to regulations of laws and the demand for protection, people are been secretly watched by the government whether it is through the traffic camera by the nearest store or when turning on our private phones.
