ϟHE ϟAID: other misconceptions

stripitdown:

  • you can’t view the great wall of china from the moon.
  • marie antoinette didn’t say ‘let them eat cake’. it was a saying that jean jacques rousseau attributed to a ‘great princess’ (not antoinette, who was only ten when he made this claim)…

Click into this and read it. It’s some pretty interesting facts. I’m pretty sure the only thing I DIDN’T know was the Julius Caesar thing. And with that, I knew “Et tu, Brute” wasn’t his last words, just that it’s rumored as such. But I didn’t know what his actual last words were.

My goodness, I do so love history. Apparently I’m kind of a geek when it comes to it? lolno
