  • School. It’s a place we’re all forced to go to, and a place we all know we don’t want to be unless we’re actually learning something cool and useful. Which…varies depending on the kind of person you are, to say the least. But as many people are pointing out nowadays, while school isn’t “teaching you everything,” because that would be impossible, it’s curious that they’re not teaching students certain things because they honestly are a key part of history in one form or another. And given that the internet is such a “fountain of information,” we’d be remiss to not fill in the gaps in your brain. So with that in mind, allow us to show you 20 Horrible Historical Facts School Doesn't Teach!

    The funny thing about the Emu wars is that the Emu's won twice.

    It's really weird how we didn't learn about this stuff til we were adults. There's gaps in our understanding of history and wasn't t our fault.
    Btw, the Depression was in the thirties not the twenties.

    I don't really doubt that the Emu War happened, but what he did say is that the emus went inland. Noone lived inland at that time, so therefore the emus wouldn't have bothered anyone. Australia's population has always been on the coast, not inland.
    As to if there was ever female pirates I don't know. I do know that during or prior to Medieval Times a woman aboard a ship was considered bad luck. Later on people like the Phoenicians and people in Norway started realizing that it was good luck to have a woman aboard.
    I don't care who adopted which calendar. The very best was the Egyptian calendar.
    Julius Caesar would have never destroyed Alexandria, but his successor Augustus aka Octavian would.
    As to Cleopatra VII; I always believed she was half Greek and half African.
    I can't really believe we have a holiday for Christopher Columbus! It would be like if we had a holiday for Hitler. I can't wrap my head around it. Christopher Columbus was a evil beast. When someone looks at me and says Happy Columbus Day I'll look at them and say Happy Bartolomé de Las Casas Day. And then they look confused. Not my problem. It's theirs for not being educated. Columbus landed on Watling's Island in the Bahamas.
    The Vikings entered North America through the St Lawrence Seaway. They may have went as far inland as Minnesota. The Phoenicians was on the East Coast of what is now called the United States before that. And before that you had the the ancestors of today's Native Americans crossing the Bering Straits.
    And did you know that camels actually originated in North America. Amazing!
    People have always told me that I should become a history teacher. I told them that is not a good idea because I would not lie to the students, I would tell them the truth. Then the students would realize that humanity is not progressing, it's regressing. Then I would have a classroom full of depressed students.

    Sorry to be a party pooper, but....
    As far as my knowledge goes, and it`s pretty far, the Wall, does not be visible from space.
    As said at 16.00.
    This has not been confirmed to this day.
    Please, correct me, if I am delusional, but that`s the facts I have.

    One thing you failed to mention about the Statue of Liberty is that she was actually meant for Spain.

    Emu oil is a great skin moisturizer. It also stops chicken pox and shingles (which is latent chicken pox attached to a nerve).

    So the climate changed massively before the industrial revolution, and without a hint of irony, you made a "global warming" joke. Perhaps the science is really settled.

    THANK YOU for saying EMU the right way.
    With the Emu war. The army had a time limit due to the cost. In the end we did win the war and Emu's are good eating. You can feed a family on 1 Emu leg, I have a hat made out of Emu skin.
