“Cleopatra was of Macedonian-Greek descent”

Somewhere a Netflix executive is screaming in anguish

[ManVanIran]

Wait wait wait so you're telling me the world did NOT end in 2012????

The reason why ninjas are portrayed as wearing all-black is actually very interesting.

In Japanese theatre, stagehands — the people who move props around during a performance — were usually dressed black as to not distract from the play. In some plays however, one stagehand may actually be an actor in disguise — an actor who portrays a ninja!

Nobody expects a stagehand to pull out a weapon, so it's a very surprising twist — just like a ninja.

im surprised 'napoleon was not actually short' isnt in this video

[scotandiamapping]

0:08 a fun fact to add to this, only one member of Cleopatra's dynasty actually spoke Egyptian, that being Cleopatra herself

[ChildDevourer]

Fun fact: we will never know about the Trojan horse or anything related to Troy anymore is because one man decided to use DYNAMITE for ARCHEOLOGY

[DefrostedChicken]

On cowboys: The reason they're called "cowboys" was because their mandate was guiding and protecting cattle over long distances, in a time where transporting them by train wasn't possible, as railroads long enough were still under construction.

1:30 I find it so ironic that this is a story told to teach young Americans about truthfulness, yet it’s a fake story and not even true😭.

[FracturedPixel]

8:50 in school we were always taught to remember it with "Divorced, beheaded, died - divorced, beheaded, survived"

[qzy-SanTzxkW]

Who tf ever thought that b4 Columbus or the vikings discovered America, it wasn't inhabited?

[Littleyonder]

For No. 14, it would be more accurate to say that the Hundred Years War was not a single, century-long conflict, as the medieval economies of England and France couldn’t sustain such. Instead, it was a series of smaller-scale campaigns into France by the English that are lumped together into a wider war.

(I’m not a professional historian, btw, historians, feel free to correct me)

Half of these: Oh wow, didn't know that.
Other half: Who the FUCK actually believed that shit??

[TakedaIesyu]

Half of these: "Huh, that's neat! I didn't know that!"
The other half: "I mean, okay yeah, but you're really missing the point."

Like, the Eastern and Western Romans were culturally distinctive enough that we call one "Roman" and the other "Byzantine, " just like how Mainland Chinese and the Chinese who live on Taiwan are culturally distinctive enough that, while both could be called "Chinese, " we refer to one as Taiwanese instead.

The Titanic was NOT called unsinkable before its sinking. It was called "practically unsinkable" and "as unsinkable as it's possible to make one liner" but it was never just called downright unsinkable. This was exagerrated after its' sinking to envoke sadness or something

[welton]

I don't care what the video says, Cleopatra was African.

9:17 Another thing about the bermuda triangle is you can pretty much pick any area of such a large size that has that much air and sea traffic and you’ll find a similar number of incidents

[Cruzazulini]

Great work, as always!
But 5:46 that's not a picture of the Mayan calendar. That's the Aztec calendar

[ivonnesaysmiau]

Cleopatra being actually greek/macedonian (im unsure which one is correct) should be taught more to everyone so there are less confusions

[Yea___]

2000 years from now someone is gonna make a youtube video and say "America did not speak English. While English was the main language used for everything, some people spoke other languages"
