Such was the impact that not even their name was spoken and we know them just as "the sea peoples".
      Imagine if in a thousand years all people know about the US is that their nation was ended by *someone* and most of their history with few exceptions was erased by this civilization collapse.

    She was also a brilliant diplomat, excellent strategist, and strong leader. But the Romans didn’t like that a woman held such a position. That’s why Cleopatra, for the longest time, was simply seen as a seducer and sex symbol, because that’s what the Roman propaganda said she was. She was reduced to just being a lover of Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and being remembered as just that for a VERY long time because of the slander.

    Consider:

    American Old West: 1803-1912
    Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
    French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830

      I love this fact because from it alone you would never guess that Robert Liston was one of THE BEST surgeons of his time. He was unpopular amongst his peers for taking the cases they deemed "impossible" and for advocating that the comfort and emotional well-being of patients was important for their recovery.
      One great moment of his is when he burst into a professor's classroom and saw the cadaver of a young murdered woman, Mary Paterson, "posed lasciviously". Robert responded by throwing the professor to the floor in front of his students, covering Mary's body with his coat, and hauling her away for a proper burial.
      Unfortunately the 300% mortality rate story is apocryphal, it was only written about after his death and there are no matching surgical records to support it, but that's not nearly as fun imo so i choose to believe it anyways

    During WWI a huge number of men from Senegal, at that time a French colony, were bribed into joining the French army to a risky mission in exchange for having their own farms back from colonialist robbers after the war. They got such poor equipment and training from French government, that only 300 survived. They were used as meat for slaughter.
    When those who survived claimed that the government keep its promise, they were executed one by one by their own comrades at Charles de Gaulle's order.
    This is the kind of historical fact I can't get over.

    ​​fun fact salted or seasoned/spiced bread was a common dish in tzarist russia in the 1500s as spices were rare in Europa and Russia was away from major trade routes until Ottoman blockades and heavy taxation
    ​​came into effect shifting routes from persia through the levant to north through Russia to the rest of Europa for a time making spices more common
    ​​because it was hard to get in most of Europa at the time the dish was considered fancy but Russia was near enough to get spices at an affordable enough amount for people to be able to eat it

      Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy not a romance Juliet is twelve in the original version by Shakespeare
      the play is a tragedy not a romance it's the story of an adult having a 2 or 3 day relationship with a twelve year old that results in the death of five people and a double suicide following their attempt at a union that the two families of the people involved do not want to happen
      Romeo is not in her age range he is much older than her imagine if a grown man showed up outside of your house calling to your twelve year old daughter's window it isn't good from the other wealthy merchantile family's perspective either your adult son is courting the child of your business rival
      and for the family of juliet a grown man is sneaking into your home to kiss your twelve year old daughter and actively tries to talk her into leaving the safety of your house for some other location
      (historically 12-14 traditionally is the age range of Juliet or Julie and Romeo tends to be 18 or older no younger than 17 in historical version of the play)

      The Ming dynasty founder Zhu Yuanzhang, who declared his reign to be the era of Hongwu, or "Great Martiality," made prolific use of gunpowder weapons for his time. Early Ming military codes stipulated that ideally 10 percent of all soldiers should be gunners. By 1380, twelve years after the Ming dynasty's founding, the Ming army boasted around 130,000 gunners out of its 1.3 to 1.8 million strong army. At the outbreak of the Ming-Mong Mao War (1386-1388), the Ming general Mu Ying was ordered to produce a couple thousand hand cannons.[21] Under Zhu Yuanzhang's successors, the percentage of gunners climbed higher and by the 1440s it reached 20 percent.

      when he came by a belfry/bellset near or possibly near a temple when he got the idea to have his people take down the bells so that they may wear them over their padded caps to protect their heads

    Cleopatra was Greek, descended from one of Alexander the Great's generals. Her name is equal to "Patrokles" and means "love of father".
    Humans have been living in the Nile valley for so long that it is silly to clump them together into one culture, or even three.
    Humans evolved by working stone. The first people to walk into Egypt had two million years of stoneworking skills.
    My historical fact is that there are natural stone formations that look a little like the Great Sphinx. (We call them "yardangs.") Humans could have seen seen a big one by the Nile, and touched it up a bit. The next group to wander by would have been more impressed ... That could be the start of Egypt.
