The website decided to figure it out and collected for you 6 famous characters, whose stories not everyone knows.

Thumbs up and thumbs down





The gesture has come to us from Ancient Rome. From the movies we know that thumbs up is a symbol of mercy, down — death. That's just the opposite. Thumbs up meant "to pull the sword and to execute judgment", and down — "remove the sword". An error has occurred due to the fact that we associate the downward direction as a negative effect, lose.

In many religions the crown is a sign of a higher power, sent to man. Therefore, it was believed that the crowned chosen by God. The familiar form of the crown is similar to a light or halo, which are portrayed in the paintings of the Middle ages.
