Uncover the Shocking Truth Behind 51 Historical Myths You’ve Been Believing All Along—Despite Easy Access to Facts!
Even the much vaunted Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 armor didn’t really do them much good. The vehicles weren’t very mobile and while they achieved an impressive [results] in the field they were vulnerable to anti-tank guns and Tank Destroyers from the front, and the Shermans could simply circle around them and hit their vulnerable flanks. Plus they weren’t produced in large enough numbers to really pose a serious threat to the allies.
By the end of the war the US Pershing and the Russian IS Heavy Tanks were the equal or better of the Tigers in armor and firepower and were more easily mass produced, and the English had the Sherman Firefly and Churchill Mk 7 which, while not the equal of the Tiger 2 could at least penetrate it.
“The Dark Ages”, a term originally coined in the 1800’s to describe around 700-1200AD, was supposedly a period of [slow] technological development, and leaving limited archaeology or historical material behind.
Even now the very term conjures up images of a period in history where our knowledge is very limited.
But you don’t have to research that hard today to see its total nonsense, and it was actually an era very rich in science, art, development, trade etc.
That Cleopatra was really beautiful. In reality she was a result of many generations of inbreeding (like most of her family).
Michael Jordan was never cut from his high school basketball team. He was only 5’11” and a sophomore when he tried out for the varsity team. He didn’t make the varsity team but was placed on the junior varsity team.
American revolution was about British being greedy over taxes. The truth is that a number of businesses wanted to expand into Indian territory and asked the British for soldiers. The government refused, telling them that if they want to expand then they would need to raise the money locally. The businessmen figured that if they were raising money locally then they might as well seize control of local government as well. Thus the US was born from greedy capitalism and has the worst workers rights of any developed country. The clever bit was to convince the people that being economic slaves was a great idea.
Betsy Ross didn’t make the first American flag. That was a myth started by her descendants around the country’s first centennial.
The “Immaculate Conception” had nothing to do with Mary getting pregnant with Jesus sans help from Joseph. That’s the virgin birth.
The Catholic Church believes Mary was free from sin from the time her mother conceived her which was the Immaculate Conception.
Most Protestant churches don’t believe in the Immaculate Conception.
Al Gore claimed he invented the internet. That is a lie created by his political foes. He did correctly say that he took the lead in making the internet available to the public instead of just being for the military.
A lot of people seem to think that Easter Island is a great environmental fable: a small island, almost the most remote place on Earth, cut down all of their trees to build giant head statues, resulting in the collapse of their society and extinction.
Except that native Easter Islanders didn’t go extinct. They’re still there. The collapse of their society was precipitated by slavers, who took most of the population – anybody who could read, basically, in the written language they had invented – to work on the west coast of South America. Also, a lot of those heads are full bodies that have sunk into the sandy soil.
Many believe Teddy Roosevelt was a wonderful man. How ever his international policies would say otherwise. He created work camps in the Philippines. As a result, a lot of people passed away, and he pissed off many neighboring countries. His history in the Philippines will probably shock and disgust you.
Abraham Lincoln’s famous log cabin was not built during his lifetime. This was built 30 years after his passing by entrepreneur Alfred Dennett.
Galileo wasn’t thrown in jail for heliocentrism, he wrote a [jerk] response to the Pope and the Jesuits and they decided to ban him from society (ie house arrest).
The Teddy Bear was named for a bear that Theodore Roosevelt spared on a hunting trip. However he didn’t exactly spare it and it wasn’t exactly out of mercy. There was a professional trapper/tracker/hunter dude with him who’s job was to find a bear for him to hunt. However the bear he found was so pathetic looking that Roosevelt just didn’t think it worth his effort. The trapper dude just cut its neck open instead.
Paul Revere did not yell, “The British are coming! The British are coming!” …as most ‘Americans’ at the time still called themselves British. He most likely said, “The Regulars are coming!” Regulars were a term for British troops on the move.
Robert E Lee wasnt the military genius most people think he was,sure he won a few battles (at high costs) but he made a lot of mistakes (like invading Maryland),constantly going on the offensive despite his lack of troop strength,and totally neglecting the western front,he refused to send any troops away from Virginia to help out west, he fought like he had an unlimited amount of troops, which cost the South the war.
There’s no archaeological evidence for jews living in ancient egypt.
The naming of Greenland and Iceland by the Vikings.
I’ve heard many times that the Vikings names them that was so that people would come with them to Greenland (which is actually ice) and not go to Iceland (which is green). They wanted people in Greenland to help move over and colonize North America (unnamed but still discovered at the time) and they didn’t want people going to Iceland as it was prosperous and they wanted to keep it to themselves.
