🎙️ [Intro – 0:00–0:10] Think you know history? Think again. These 10 events were either misremembered, twisted… or possibly never happened the way we were told. ⸻ 🎙️ #10 – The Trojan Horse You’ve heard the story: Greeks hid in a wooden horse to sneak into Troy. But there’s zero archaeological evidence it happened. Some historians believe it was symbolic—or total fiction written centuries later. ⸻ 🎙️ #9 – Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride “The British are coming!” — probably not. Revere never shouted that phrase. And he wasn’t alone. Two other riders — William Dawes and Samuel Prescott — actually traveled farther. ⸻ 🎙️ #8 – Vikings Wore Horned Helmets That iconic image? Invented in the 1800s by opera costume designers. Real Viking helmets were practical, rounded, and horn-free. ⸻ 🎙️ #7 – Napoleon Was Short He was actually 5’6” or 5’7” — normal for the time. The “short Napoleon” myth came from British cartoons mocking him. ⸻ 🎙️ #6 – The Salem Witch Trials Burned Witches Nobody was burned in Salem. 19 were hanged, and one man was crushed with stones. Burning? That was mostly in Europe. ⸻ 🎙️ #5 – Einstein Failed Math Total myth. Einstein once said, “Before I was 15, I had mastered differential and integral calculus.” He crushed math — he just hated school structure. ⸻ 🎙️ #4 – The Great Wall of China is Visible from Space Nope. NASA confirmed: it’s almost impossible to see without aid. It’s too narrow and blends in with the terrain. ⸻ 🎙️ #3 – Marie Antoinette Said “Let Them Eat Cake” There’s no record of her saying it. The quote appeared in writings years before she was even queen — likely used to vilify her later. ⸻ 🎙️ #2 – Columbus “Discovered” America He landed in the Caribbean — never North America. And Indigenous peoples had lived here for thousands of years before he arrived. ⸻ 🎙️ #1 – The Emancipation Proclamation Freed All Slaves It didn’t. It only applied to states in rebellion. Slavery remained legal in Union states like Delaware and Kentucky until months later. ⸻ 🎙️ [Outro – 1:50–1:59] History gets repeated—but not always correctly. Like, share, and follow for more facts they didn’t teach you in school.
