there is a famous saying that says that history is always written by the winners when the poem once said what is history but a fable agreed upon but we really have to question everything that we were taught at school or reading the newspapers or history books where the historical facts are completely wrong the following are a myriad of historical facts that you will know that brought upon like myself but on further research discovered that they were not true the following are five famous historical facts that proved to be untrue number five Hitler created the Autobahn many people like myself believe the Hitler and the Third Reich amended the famous German Autobahn and that the construction work helped eradicate mass unemployment in Germany but this is an historical fiction a photograph taken by German soldier no doubt from gurbles propaganda unit shows Hitler taking a spade and digging it in some sand documenting the start of work on another stretch of the famous German Autobahn this image typically was circulated nationwide with a solemn of all this manufactured propaganda was to make sure that citizens throughout the reich knew that the building work was going on whenever construction started on a new section event was always meticulously documented and publicized and big inaugural celebrations marked the opening of every stretch of road with the headline no doubt saying Hitler makes the order by on his own but that is where the myth ends because Hitler could not have overseen the Autobahn since it was already in existence in 1931 two years before he became Chancellor in 1933 Hitler's rise to power and the development of the Autobahn did happen at almost at the same time but they occurred in the wrong order for Hitler to take any credit number four Thomas Edison invented the light bulb electric light was not invented in traditional sense in 1879 by Thomas Alva Edison although we probably created the first commercially practical incandescent light he was neither the first nor the only person trying to invent an incandescent light bulb as a light bulb have been around years before Thomas Edison ever created one however Edison's contribution was to improve on it some historians claim that there were over 20 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Edison's version but the previous verses were unreliable expensive and didn't last very long Edison is often credited with the invention because his version was able to outstrip the earlier versions because of an effective incandescent material a higher vacuum than others were able to achieve and high resistance that may power distribution from a centralized source economically viable Edison's version of the light bulb also improved on the filament and had a lower voltage than others at the time the result was a marketable product that could last for hours of course Edison's design has been improved on over the years today's standard incandescent bulbs can last for years there is one globe called the Centennial light in California that has been burning since 1900 and one well over a hundred years number three Columbus discovered America for many decades Jewish schoolchildren were taught that in 1492 Columbus discovered the new world today few people claim that Columbus was the first European to sail to the Americas evidence for many evil north voyages and colonization is overwhelming America was actually named after another navigator the Florentine Amerigo Vespucci whispers she was the first person to recognize North and South America as distinct continents that were previously unknown to Europeans Asians and Africans crowd Ava's bujji's discovery explorers including Columbus had assumed that the new world was part of Asia force Pucci made his discovery while sailing near the tip of South America in 1500 and 1 Columbus thought he was discovering some parts of Asia he also believed it found a new maritime route to the East Indies that would circumvent Muslim controlled land routes and waterways the belief that Christopher Columbus discovered America is apparently widespread many Americans today still believe that Columbus discovered the continent forgetting one huge effect the Native Americans already lived there the first Europeans at lands in America is widely accepted by historians to be the Viking Explorer Leif Ericson who sailed from Greenland to Newfoundland in Canada in around 1,000 a Sea however if Columbus is to be remembered for anything is that he brought diseases that killed a massive portion of the Native American population even as much as 90% and pave the way for European imperialism in the Western Hemisphere [Music] number two an apple fell on Newton's head the version we were all brought up on was that Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when he was hit on the head by an apple that prompted the 17th century English mathematician physicist astronomer and theologian to suddenly come up with his law of gravity but that is not how things really happened Newton was at his childhood homing Woolsthorpe Manor in 1667 what it was in the orchard he witnessed the napple dropped from a tree but there's no evidence to suggest that the apple XD landed on his head so Newton's apple legend isn't true but like many historical legends it's an embellished version of something that actually happened so even though an apple didn't fall on Newton's head it did start him theorizing about gravity when he saw the Apple falling from a tree and started thinking about it mutants observation caused in the plunder why apples always felt straight to the ground rather than sideways or upward and helped inspire him to eventually develop his law of universal gravitation in 1687 Newton first published this principle which states that every body in the universe is attracted to every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them in his landmark work the Principia which also features is three laws of motion number one Jesus was born on December the 25th the winter solstice was celebrated by the Romans from December the 17th to 25 this Universal included gift-giving family time and festivities when Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in the early 4th century the traditional Roman holiday was appropriated by the Christian Church as a parallel holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus is there was already a pagan holiday so holiday was needed to celebrate the day when Jesus was born so later the fetus in Nicholas was assimilated into the festivities Nickolas famous exhibited gifts on December the 25th by choosing this day to celebrate Jesus birthday the church could co-op the popular pagan festival as well as a winter celebrations of other pagan religions but there are no records suggesting that Jesus was actually born on that day or its equivalent in the Jewish calendar there's no unanimity on the official date scholars also debate the month of Jesus's birth in 2008 astronomer Davis Rene key I could that Jesus was born in the summer the star of betted him may have been venus and jupiter come together to form a bright light in the sky other researchers have claimed that a similar conjunction one between Saturn and Jupiter occurred in October of 7 BC making Jesus an autumn baby theologians have also suggested that Jesus was born in the spring based on the biblical narrative that shepherds were watching over their flocks in the fields on the night of Jesus's birth something they would have done in the spring not in the cold of winter so nobody really knows exactly when Jesus was born [Music] [Music]
