Uncover the Shocking Truth Behind 51 Historical Myths You’ve Been Believing All Along—Despite Easy Access to Facts!
In actuality, at the time of naming Greenland and Iceland, the climate was very different. Greenland was not frozen over, and covered in green moss. Iceland was experiencing a freeze over due to a lack of geothermal activity in the area, and ocean currents.
That Henry VIII had disgusting manners and threw chicken bone to his dogs etc. He was a Renaissance Prince with formal manners who used linen clothes and rose water to freshen his hands after eating.
Myth: The comet aircraft crashes were caused by square windows that focused pressure on their corners and caused fatigue cracks.
Truth: Fatigue cracks did cause the crashes but it was around the navigation radio antenna and was caused by badly spaced and positioned rivets in the region that bound the aluminium skin to the glass panel over the antenna.
This is one of the biggest myths in aeronautics (even my lecturers get it wrong) the windows on the comet actually had a curvature greater than some modern aircraft. Anyone who’s going to the science museum in the UK should look for the body panel from a comet crash. It’s shows this exact area and how the cracks formed and grew.
JFK wasn’t the first person or U.S. President to give that famous quote: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Medieval Europeans bathed frequently. There were large bath houses. Soap guilds were lucrative and powerful.
“Don’t fire until you see the whites of there eyes” may never have been said. I heard this from a guide at the Bunker Hill monument. Something to the effect of that famous quote might have been said but there is no conclusive proof of that quote being said in battle.
Obviously not as prominent now, but the belief that seemingly everyone had a couple years ago that the Maya had believed the world would end in 2012. There was no evidence that they believed this, only that their long-count calendar ended in that year. It would be like saying Americans think the world will end in December, because our calendar ends in that month.
Canadians always say they burned down the Whitehouse/Washington dc in the war of 1812.
It was actually done by British royal marines who were transferred over from the Napoleonic wars and slaves that were trained and armed by admiral Cockburn.
Oh it was also done more as retaliation for the raid on port Dover than the burning of York.
Nero didn’t burn down Rome, he was in a different part of Italy at the time. Not did he fiddle, as the fiddle wouldn’t be invented for many centuries after.
Although it’d be really funny if it did, the Battle of Karansebes probably did not happen.
