Carved into the rock of the hills near the Nile River the twin temples were monuments to celebrate the successful battle of Kadesh and as lasting memory to both Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. Over the centuries the temple complex became covered by the desert sand and finally was forgotten. It was only in 1813 that the Swiss explorer and Orientalist Johann-Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered the top part of the larger temple. Legend tells that a local boy by the name of Abu Simbel guided Mr. Burckhardt to the site. In the following years, the Italian explorer Giovanni Belzoni explored the site and found the entrance to the temple. The sketches and paintings of the site made by the famous Scottish painter David Roberts during his voyages to Nubia in 1838/39 helped to make the site known to Victorian society and contributed to the excitement and the fashion for everything Egyptian. When the Egyptian government started to build the high dam in Aswan in 1960, the rising waters of the newly created Lake Nasser threatened to destroy the Abu Simbel site. The UNESCO appealed to the world and a multi-national rescue was started in 1964, successfully relocating the whole site 200 metres back from the river and 65 metres up the mountains. By 1968, the entire complex had been moved and the temples were saved. An interesting astrophysical phenomenon appears twice a year, on 22 October and 22 February, when the sun’s rays enter inside the Great Temple and illuminate the sculptures at the back wall of the sanctuary with the exception of the one of Ptah, the god of the Underworld. It is testament to the ingenuity of the ancient Egyptian architects. Today the Great Temple with the 4 statues of Ramses II and the smaller temple, dedicated to Nerfertari, are both open to the public and are among the most impressive architectural sites to have survived antiquity.

The breed was originally used for the popular ‘sport’ of bull-baiting, where several Bulldogs were set on a Bull in a market place (or arena) to bring him down mostly by biting and holding onto its nose. This explains the typical physiognomy of the breed such as thick folds of skin on a Bulldog's brows and folds called "rope" above the nose (so that the blood would not flow in the eyes and nose), hanging skin (so that if the horns of the Bull would penetrate the skin it would not damage the vital organs) and a retracted nose from the underbite (so that the dog could still breathe while hanging on the nose of the bull). The above combined with strong, stocky bodies, massive heads, strong jaws and superior tenacity typified the once ferocious breed. The Cruelty to Animals Act 1835 prohibited this ‘sport’ and the breed became almost extinct. In 1878 the Bulldog Club was founded, the oldest single breed specialty club in England. It promoted a breed that underwent a dramatic change from the formerly savage warrior dog to a very docile, friendly and gentle, yet still courageous animal perfectly suited as a family pet and show dog, which is what very much defines the British Bulldog of today. The English Bulldog is one of the four national animals that represent England or the United Kingdom (as are the lion, the Unicorn, and the red fox). The breed has been associated with Winston Churchill (although he never owned one) and stands for the British Bulldog Spirit and was extensively used and featured in the propaganda during the two World Wars. The British or English Bulldog is also the official mascot of the United States Marine Corps and numerous U.S. universities (such as Georgia or Yale). Fab Diamond, shown above, has been the official mascot of the White Spot division since 2010. She fronts our website, our consumer brochure and is used in White Spot PR visuals world-wide.

Furthermore, due to their telescopic construction they are highly adaptable and can house longer and shorter cigars ‘Highland 4’ pairs an inner part hand-crafted from a traditional tweed with small black, beige and mid-brown checks and large red check woven into a fine Saxony wool with an outer part made from rich, but soft chocolate-brown grained leather. Both parts are lined with mid brown goat leather and stamped with gold foil. ‘Highland 5’ has a more elegant look by combining a finely worsted olive-brown wool cloth with Herringbone pattern and large red checks for the inner while a tan Bridle leather is used for the outer. Both are lined with a dark olive stamped cowhide and silver embossing.
